What We Do
The administration, faculty, and staff of Lutheran High School are dedicated to providing Christ-centered service to young people and their families.
Organizational Structure
We have 3 main functions as an Organization: Business, Advancement & School. Click here to view more details, our team and how each function enables the mission at Lutheran High.
Faculty & staff
Lutheran High School believes that each individual student is a unique child of God. In order to best meet the unique needs of students, LHS highly values one-to-one relationships between faculty, staff and students. It is often said, “a student doesn’t care how much you know, unless they know how much you care.” Education happens most effectively when relationships are developed between teacher and student. The unique 4x4 block schedule at LHS allows teachers to create and maintain those relationships since teachers work with only 60-70 students each semester for 80 minutes each day. LHS teachers are passionate about helping their students reach their full potential.
