Each year, the administration at Lutheran High starts looking towards next year to think through what we can add, expand, and improve to make our school even better equipped to serve students in the future. This year is no different. We are excited to share plans to expand all aspects of the school from athletic and academic to the physical building.
After a student makes it through middle school, sometimes all the parent hopes is for their child to survive high school. But LuHi has a greater vision. “If we put students in the right environment surrounded by the right people where culture matters and Christian worldview is taught, God will work through them,” says Executive Director Dan Gehrke. “I’m amazed at their faiths and I’m amazed at what they accomplish.”
High school is a pivotal point of life; it is both sunshine and storms. It can inspire or shake a foundation of values, self-esteem, knowledge, and even faith. According to Barna Group, three out of every five young Christians leave church either temporarily or permanently after age fifteen. That’s a staggering statistic, and one that LuHi responds to very seriously.
“Black Friday” - the day following Thanksgiving - generated over $1,000,000 in online sales per minute! That day through the following Monday, now referred to as “Cyber” Monday, captured 20% of all online holiday shopping. Forecasts suggest the average U.S. consumer will spend $1,007 this year on gifts, food, decorations, and Christmas cards during the November-December holiday season.
In many ways, the four years that students spend at LuHi go by in a flash. High school is a time to cherish, but we also aim much higher. Every member of the Lutheran High faculty and staff wants to prepare our students for college and for life.
Finding the best school to academically nurture and challenge your children is critical to their success. For many families, paying for that academic investment in their children is a major stressor.
Your 14-year-old student is about to enter high school. It’s obvious they are nervous; they spent the last 10 hours deliberating over what they are going to wear the first day of school. But we know you feel the anxiety, too.
In the video above, LuHi Principal, David Ness, talks about the importance of filling classrooms with teachers who:
- Are experts in their field
- Have a passion for their subjects that’s easily recognizable by students
- Can relate to their students
- Care about students and can nurture their growth
It’s finally here - the first part of Greater Impact Phase 2 is beginning! God has seen fit to provide the vision and the funding for us to gain four classroom spaces for the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year.
LuHi has been looking for a mascot to rally around since the consolidation of DLHS and LHSP. With the focus being on the L logo since the merger, we are excited to add a lion logo to the LuHi Brand.
