The High School Placement test provides a baseline for where 8th-grade students are academically in the following areas: verbal skills, quantitative skills, reading, math, and language. Students will be tested on material they should be familiar with up to this point in 8th grade. The scores from the HSPT come back as grade level equivalencies, which is a helpful guide in the course selection process. Students are not required to study for the HSPT, and LuHi does not provide study materials.

If a student is taking the same placement test that LuHi offers, the Scholastic High School Placement Test, at another school, they do not need to take it a second time at Lutheran High. Students who test at another school will need to request their scores and email the score report directly to the Admissions Team. HSPT results can be emailed to admissions@lhsparker.org.

The Additional Character Reference can be any adult that knows your student well and can speak to their character. Some examples include another teacher (science, history, Spanish, etc.), pastor, youth group leader, coach, or parent they babysit for. The additional character recommendation form should not be completed by a family member or a close family friend.

The admissions application must be completed in steps and cannot be completed in one sitting because applicants are required to submit grade information from their 8th-grade year. This may include a finalized first quarter/first trimester report card or a current in-progress report. 7th-grade report cards and documents submitted in lieu of grades will not be accepted and applications will be considered "In Progress" until 8th-grade information is received. Applicants may work on the rest of the application while they wait for 8th-grade grades and applications may only be submitted once 8th-grade information has been uploaded.

Two of the recommendation forms on the admissions application, the math and the English forms, ask teachers to recommend class placement for the student’s freshman year. 8th-grade teachers are usually able to make the most accurate recommendations for placement for freshman year since they see the student’s current progress first-hand. Recommendation forms will not be sent until the application is submitted.

School policy requires that students be enrolled at Lutheran High School full-time to participate in extracurricular activities, including athletics, performing arts, and clubs.

According to the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA), students who transfer to another high school are ineligible to participate at the varsity level for 365 days. Please read more about the CHSAA Transfer Rules, which can be found on their website.

Once a class reaches its capacity, applicants will be placed into a waiting pool. The waiting pool is not done on a first-come, first-serve basis and does not make applicants a number in line. When a spot opens up in a class, the Admissions Team will look through all applications in the waiting pool and reach out to families accordingly to move forward with the admissions process.

Lutheran High School does not have a waitlist or waiting pool for 7th graders or younger students. The admissions process does not begin until students are in 8th grade.

LuHi is focused on providing a Christ-centered education rooted in Scriptural truth. Students will experience the Christian worldview in all classes, so they are prepared to think about their faith in different contexts and perspectives. All students take a Theology class each year, and the entire student body attends chapel together three times a week. In addition to encouraging students’ academic growth, we encourage their growth in Christ.

Yes, and Lutheran High students must follow our “business casual” dress code outlined in our Student-Parent Handbook. Students are not required to wear uniforms.
