Admissions Appointments and Tours

Welcome! The Admissions Team at Lutheran High School wants every student to thrive during their high school years. There is a place for your student here. We are dedicated to assisting every family through the admissions process. Hannah Buchholz, Director of Admissions and Marketing is the main point of contact for all questions related to the admissions and enrollment process.

The admissions process usually begins with a personal tour of the school to see us in action. Tours usually last about 45 minutes but as much time as needed is set aside to answer questions and form a relationship with your family.

Shadow Days

Shadow days for 8th graders begin September 3rd, 2019 and students are welcome to shadow on any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday school is in session. Potential students are encouraged to spend a day at LuHi shadowing a current student to get a feel for what it means to be a LuHi Lion.

The school day begins at 7:40 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and 8:10 on Tuesday and Thursday. Please plan to drop your student off at the front office 10 minutes before school starts. Lunch will be provided and you can pick up your student at 2:45pm.

Apply Online

Interested in applying? The process begins with the online application. A $50 application fee is due at the time the application is submitted. If you prefer to pay by check, contact us and we will be happy to discuss an optional payment process with you.  

*Please note, the application is the first step in the admissions process and should be completed prior to other documentation (the essay, the placement test, recommendation forms, etc) being submitted.

Applications for the 2020-2021 school year will open on September 1, 2019. To be considered for acceptance, Lutheran High School also requires:

• An unofficial transcript from the student's current school.
• Recommendation Forms filled out by current teachers. Teachers will email the forms directly back to us via the student's completed application.
• An original essay (see details below).
• The HSPT placement test.

An original essay is also required for acceptance. Essays can be submitted via email to Jodi Hoehne (jodi.hoehne@lhsparker.org). The essay should be 1 page long at 11 pt font covering one of the following topics:

• Describe a topic or school subject you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?
• Share a time when you overcame an obstacle, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
• Talk about one of your passions or hobbies. How does it spark personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others?

When a student is accepted into Lutheran High School, he/she will receive an acceptance packet in the mail. Beginning in January, accepted students will receive information about enrollment, course selection, tuition payments, and the New Family Welcome Event.
