I have a passion and fire for Lutheran Education that was instilled in me by my parents at an early age. As I got older, my Father opened my eyes to the love and drive that goes into being a Lutheran Educator.<br \/>\n\u201cI will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.\u201d Psalm 32:8<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m proud to continue the Lutheran education tradition here at CLS. As we prepare for the 2025-2026 school year we are looking forward to a great year as the students, faculty, and staff grow in the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Some of you may not know me well yet but let me share a little more about me\u00a0 here at CLS, so please visit our faculty page.<br \/>\nHere is a little information about myself:<\/p>\n<p>Family: I have been married to my wife Paola for 7 years. I have four children which are my two older sons Jesus (22), Jose (20), my daughter Marilyn will soon be 5 and is excited to be a CLS Comet this fall, and my youngest son Noah (almost 2).<\/p>\n<p>Previous Experience: I began teaching at King of Kings in Fall of 2016. This was my first call and I was blessed to serve there for seven school years.<\/p>\n<p>Education: I graduated from Concordia St.Paul Minnesota in Spring of 2016. My degree is K-6 Elementary Education with a minor in Lutheran Theology. I played football as well during my years at Concordia.<\/p>\n<p>Email: natschmidtke@clspeoria.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3711,"template":"","class_list":["post-896","our_staff","type-our_staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Principal Nathaniel Schmidtke - Christ Lutheran School<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clspeoria.org\/school\/faculty\/terry-mooney-principal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Principal Nathaniel Schmidtke - Christ Lutheran School\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"My name is Nathaniel Schmidtke and I am excited to begin my 3rd year as the principal at Christ Lutheran School.
