Tuition assistance is available and given to families on an as-needed basis. As a Christian high school, we do not want money to be a stumbling block for families as they consider LuHi. We encourage any family who is concerned about the cost of tuition to apply for tuition assistance.
Families can apply to the FACTs for tuition assistance between mid-September and mid-April every year. The process takes about a month for most families to upload their tax information, for FACTs to verify the information, and for communication between the family and LuHi to be completed.
Lutheran High School does not offer scholarships. We do not want a student to feel like they didn't "earn" enough to make it into LuHi.
Please visit our Admissions Requirements page to see the most updated deadlines and due dates for admissions applications.
We are able to honor most IEPs and 504s that call for common accommodations. However, we cannot provide modifications for students. Students with an IEP or 504 have the option to be in Access Class. This class takes the place of a study hall and is a time for students to get extra help on homework, finish tests they need extra time on, etc.
We have a Bring Your Own Device policy that gives students the freedom to choose the device they prefer to use. LuHi has MacBooks and Chromebooks available for students to borrow. Some students bring their own laptop or tablet, some students simply use their phone, and some students prefer a paper/pencil method of notetaking, etc.
We always want to look more like a college than a middle school, so instead of providing students with a device they must use, we encourage students to find the device that works best for them. This way, by the time they graduate, they are familiar and prepared to use their laptop, phone, or tablet on their own.
With the temptation of distraction so prevalent today, teachers monitor device usage and help students understand appropriate times to use their device. If students are inappropriately using their phone or other device, it will be taken away from then. Then, it's a $5 fee to get back and the fee doubles with each offense.
Students planning to go to college need a strong foundation of proper device usage in the classroom.
LuHi offers shuttle transportation to and from school. For the most updated shuttle drop off and pick up location, please click here.
Students with a valid drivers license (not learner's permits) are welcome to drive to school and park on campus (no fee or parking permit needed).
Yes. The dress code is “business casual” and is described in the student/parent handbook which can be downloaded from this website. Students are not required to wear uniforms.
For more information on dress code, please visit our Forms page and view the handbook.
We bring in outside venders (such as Chick-fil-a, Panda Express, Little Caesar's, and Raising Cane's) everyday for lunch. Students can simply bring cash to pay for these lunches. Students are welcome to bring a lunch from home and we provide microwaves for them to heat up food.
No. LHS is a closed campus. Students are required to be on campus at all times during school hours. With parent permission seniors with privileges are allowed to go off campus for lunch only.
Very safe. Our building has 32 security cameras and the only entrance during the school day is through the front doors. We practice lock down drills each semester. We have a one-point-of-entry system so all visitors, parents, and students enter through only the front doors. All other doors stay locked throughout the day.
We have a full time armed guard on campus.
In addition, the LHS discipline and conduct code is designed to efficiently and firmly suspend and expel any student who threatens the safe environment of LHS. We are committed to providing an educational environment that is free of the safety issues.
The accessibility of the faculty is one of the best things about LHS. Students are able to meet with teachers during academic labs two days a week and also are encouraged to seek out teachers for extra help at all times. Parents are encouraged to contact teachers through phone or email. Both students and parents can use RenWeb to view assignments and grades online.
We are blessed to be a growing school! For the 2021-2022 school year our enrollment was over 800 students. We are a 9-12 grade high school. The average class size at LuHi is about 26 students in class for core classes.
Yes. All of the teachers at LHS have at least a Bachelor’s degree and are required to get a Colorado teacher license. In fact, many of the teachers have Master’s degrees in their field of study.
Yes. LHS offers honors and AP classes. See a full list of our current Honors and AP classes by scrolling to the bottom part of our Curriculum page.
From Dan Gehrke, Executive Director
A friend of mine once told me, "Lutherans are committed to receiving God's love, God's Word, and God's forgiveness. We get it. We share it. And we leave the world a better place."
A Lutheran high school has the same mission. You can find Lutheran high schools all over the country, all committed to the same thing: being academically excellent schools that God uses to transform the lives of others through Jesus Christ.
Jesus said in John 10:27-28 - "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand."
Jesus knows us. And that same love and salvation that He extends to us through His death and resurrection is the same salvation that is proclaimed daily in our Lutheran high schools across the country.
Jesus knows us and in turn, a Lutheran high school knows and loves its students. The relationships formed at a Lutheran high school become the foundation for both academic excellence and spiritual encouragement. Lutheran high schools are communities of people dedicated to having a conversation about what God has done for us through His son Jesus Christ. Those communities are then the perfect compliment to families and churches who value both reaching the lost and raising up Christian kids to become spiritual champions.
And that is why the environment of a Lutheran high school makes an instant connection with Christian families. One need not be a Lutheran to attend a Lutheran high school. The core tenants of "grace alone," "faith alone," "Scripture alone" found in Lutheran theology and doctrine by their very nature resonate with all people in search of the truth. They also draw in non-Christians who are seeking answers to the greater questions of life.
Indeed, Lutheran high school communities leave the world a better place.
Lutheran High School is a Christian high school that nurtures academic excellence and encourages growth in Christ.

This place has allowed me to strengthen my faith and to build my character. I will forever be a Lion and proud to graduate from LuHi.
