Overview

edit

The school is based on the ideas and concepts of Martin Luther. The school was originally divided into two sections: the Early Childhood Campus "ECC" for grades K-4 and the Middle Upper Grade Campus "MUG" for grades 5-8.

Today the school holds all 189 students in their original "ECC" campus, located on Virginia St. The school was created by three LCMS churches including, St. Paul's Lutheran Church (LCMS), Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer, and Trinity Lutheran Church. The school is in basketball LIT tournaments and is known for its excellent music program. The school teaches students to honor God in the terms of Martin Luther.

As for sports, the school offers basketball, cheerleading, cross country, track, and volleyball. The school has also developed a program for younger children who are interested in learning basketball, called the Lutheran Developmental League, teaching children in grades K-4 the sport of basketball.

The school colors are purple and gold, which represents royalty and their mascot is a ruling monarch.
