Mr. Timothy Fabry accepted the Call as the first administrator at Martin Luther High School, Northrop and arrived April 23, 1983. The school began operating with grades 9 and 10 in the fall of 1983 in the town of Northrop.
The Installation of the Faculty and Dedication of Martin Luther High School was held on August 21, 1983 at St. James Lutheran Church, Northrop. Timothy Fabry was installed as Administrator, Gerald Festa as Assistant Principal and teacher, and Christine Bisping as teacher. Rite of Dedication was based on Matthew 7:24-29. “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it. And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.”
At the end of the worship service, attendees proceeded to the new school for the dedication. Classrooms were located in a rented storefront in downtown Northrop. Classes began on August 28, 1983 with 19 students in grades 9 and 10. Lutheran high school education in southern Minnesota was offered under the guidance of three full-time teachers and one part-time teacher. Each school day was begun with devotions and weekly chapel services were conducted by MLHS Association LCMS pastors. These pioneers—pastors, teachers, parents, grandparents, volunteers and students--made the dream of a Luthera high school become a reality.
While Mr. Fabry served as Administrator at Martin Luther High School, ground was broken for a new school building in 1984 and the Lutheran Activity Center was built in 1987. His dedication and service helped to grow enrollment and establish the Martin Luther High School Association. Mr. Fabry served at MLHS until 1994 and he continued to serve in the Lutheran School Ministry for several years. He actively supported the MLHS Ministry until his death.
We give thanks to God for the life of His servant, Timothy John Fabry.
The Martin Luther High School faculty, staff, and family extends their sincere sympathy to his family. Soli Deo Gloria!
