Our school community’s donations of time, talent, and treasure are critical in helping us fulfill our mission of nurturing students’ spiritual, academic, and personal growth. Your gifts enhance learning and extracurricular activities, providing a safe, Christ-centered environment for our students! In addition, your support affords our community the opportunity to develop relationships with one another and forge collaborative efforts to support LHS.

We take our responsibility of this partnership with our donors to be excellent stewards of the resources entrusted to us as a school community. Through such partnerships, LHS forms an educational ministry that is a mutually supportive community committed to excellence!

LHS has identified three primary goals of our development efforts to share the LHS story.

1. Develop meaningful relationships with all stakeholders 
2. Foster an understanding and culture of philanthropy for all stakeholders.
3. Encourage all stakeholders to know and share their “LHS story” within the community.

Any gift, no matter the size, makes an impact. Gifts add up, and every gift—including yours—inspires others to give also! You may contribute in a variety of ways:

• Annual Appeal:  Funds are used to offset the difference between tuition income and the actual cost of education. Although the Appeal is made at the end of the calendar year, you may give to this fund at any time.
• Scholarship Endowment:  Established in 1999, this fund has grown to nearly $500,000. Each year, up to 80% of fund earnings are used to provide tuition assistance to qualified families, with the balance reinvested to continue fund growth. Donations to the Endowment will help grow the fund’s principal, which results both in higher financial aid available to families, and long-term financial security of LHS.
• Angel Fund:  Throughout the year, LHS families may experience hardships or emergencies that make it difficult to meet their monthly tuition obligations. Job loss, health problems, family issues, etc. lead to stress and complications for both students and parents. The Angel Fund was created to provide emergency monetary assistance to families when these special circumstances arise so that students can continue their education at LHS. The Angel Fund offers an opportunity for donors to contribute to helping families in this special way.
  Special Projects:  For information on specific donating opportunities, please contact Head of School Dr. Craig Ernstmeyer or Assistant Head of School Dr. Doug Kuhlmann.
