LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can boast.“

Ephesians 2:8-9

Leadership

Hello! Lutheran High School is extremely diverse to fit the needs of all students and their interests in extracurricular activities. Student-run organizations and clubs help build character, develop excellent Christian leadership and help involve the student body so they feel at home. You can thrive whether you enjoy athletics, STEM, art, business, reading and writing, music, and many other organizations that help you in your physical, spiritual, or personal growth at LHS.

I love being a student at Lutheran High because there is truly a place for everyone. You can even create your own club, if you find a teacher and some friends that enjoy the same interest! The possibilities are endless, and you can choose how involved you want to be. Lutheran High is here to serve you, so you can hand-in-hand serve others as well!

Being at LHS, I am involved in Student Council, National Honor Society, Small Group Leaders, Key Club, Student Ambassadors, Art Club, Teens for Life, German Club, and Pep Club. I am able to maintain grades that help me strive for scholarships and still enjoy my free time as a high schooler. All of these organizations have helped me become an improved leader to communicate better and connect with people! Club sponsors and faculty help support the students to succeed in any way possible.

I hope all incoming students will become involved in such a welcoming community that strives to emulate the body of Christ and all the love He gives us daily!

Sincerely,

Ashley Vandenberk
Student Council President

Opportunities for Leadership

In addition to serving as team captains or club officers, students may also serve in these official leadership positions:

STUDENT COUNCIL

Student Council consists of both elected and appointed positions that are held by students from all grades. The mission of Student Council is to organize school activities, promote school spirit, and sponsor community service projects. StuCo meets once a month after school and during PrimeTime when needed. Officers are elected each spring for the following school year; freshman elections are held each fall. Students who are not elected to office may still serve on StuCo as a class representative.

SMALL GROUP LEADERS

Every Tuesday and Thursday, students meet in small groups for devotions, prayer, and small group activities. The Small Group Leaders are students who are comfortable openly sharing their faith by preparing devotions, leading prayer and positively encouraging their peers to grow spiritually through this time together. Small Group Leaders are juniors and seniors who have been chosen to serve as role models by demonstrating excellence in Christian character.

STUDENT AMBASSADORS

Student Ambassadors are positive, outgoing, friendly individuals whose main responsibility is to assist the Director of Enrollment in welcoming new students. Student Ambassadors give campus tours, lead workshops on Freshman Orientation Day and Future Freshman Day, and facilitate mixer activities to help new students get to know one another. Throughout the year, Student Ambassadors go out of their way to make sure that new students experience a smooth transition to LHS.
