LUMEN CHRISTI CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL was opened in 1968 as a result of the determination of the Catholic Community of Jackson to build a modern educational high school that would serve the varied educational needs of all the Catholic youth of Jackson.
Our school is under the direction of the Bishop of Lansing, through the Diocesan Board of Education, and advised by the Policy Committee and the Financial Planning Committee. We are supported and maintained by the following Catholic Parishes: St. Joseph, St John the Evangelist, St. Mary Star of the Sea, Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of the Miraculous Medal, St Rita, St. Catherine Laboure; and St. John, Albion.
The total area of our school encompasses 172,700 square feet. The educational concept of the interior presents a departmentalized system with practical flexibility to meet new and changing educational demands. Vital to the education of our students is a comprehensive Resource Center and Library with seating capacity of 265. The 180-foot diameter domed gymnasium seats 3000 people for athletic and community events along with both a wrestling and weight room. The cafetorium (combined cafeteria and auditorium) with complete kitchen facilities, accommodates 500 for dining and approximately 700 for assemblies or other social functions.
LUMEN CHRISTI CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL ranks among the finest Catholic high schools in the State of Michigan.

In this episode I visit with Miller & Chevalier lawyers Marc Bohn and George Hani on the recent IRS determination that profit disgorgement is not tax deductible and the Graham decision which limited profit disgorgement claims to the five year statute of limitations in FCPA cases.
A San Antonio, Texas real estate development company, The Lynd Company, is at the top of a list of proposals to finally develop the 4.4-acre Centennial Mills site located along the western side of the Willamette River just north of downtown Portland. The Centennial Mills site was originally built in 1910 by Balfour-Guthry and Company, a shipping and investment company from Liverpool, England, and operated under the name Crown Mills for the production of flour (called Crown Flour). The mill’s ownership changed after World War II, and production ultimately ceased in the late 1990s, after which the mill’s then-current owner, Archer-Daniels Midland, sold the mill to the Portland Development Commission (now Prosper Portland), which repurposed it for a while to house the city’s mounted police program.
Prosper Portland acquired the mill using funds for urban renewal and with the ultimate goal of fulfilling the city’s planning purposes of enhancing the Portland waterfront with public open spaces. Because the mill had fallen into serious and dangerous disrepair, the city had to demolish portions of it. To date, it has invested over $15 million in the site. While the city’s plan for the mill site does not impose particular redevelopment criteria, it lays out five key principles to guide redevelopment: provide open space, capture history, define a community focal point, strengthen connections, and embrace sustainability. Efforts to develop the site have failed, however, and in December 2017, Prosper Portland issued a call for offers to buy the site.
The proposal that The Lynd Company (a family business founded in 1980 that develops, owns, and manages multifamily housing properties in multiple states and cities throughout the US) presented to Prosper Portland envisions a mixed-use development with two new buildings for 400 residential units, which would partially be required to be used for low-income housing, and would preserve the existing flour mill structures still left on site.
It’s hard to imagine that there are enough people living in Portland to fill the many new upscale housing units being built in the Pearl District when the average professional cannot afford to buy there. While the Centennial Mill site, along with other residential developments in the area, may be required to reserve a certain percentage for low-income housing, I fail to see how that is practical when there are no reasonably priced grocery stores, affordable child care, or any other kinds of shops nearby where a person with even a higher-than-average income could comfortably shop. Public transportation is likewise sparse. Let’s hope the city has bigger plans than just more pretty buildings.
