A Place to Strive 

At LHSS, you can succeed. We help you set goals, personal and academic, that will help prepare you for college and for life. Every year, our students earn National Merit recognition, compete at the State level in academic, athletic, and music competitions, and are accepted at highly selective colleges. They earn college credit through 1-8-1-8 dual enrollment and Advanced Placement courses. They learn to think, solve problems, discuss, and write in ways they never dreamed of. They serve others, both at school and in the community. And, of course, they grow in their faith and in their ability to share and express their beliefs.

• Honors English I & II courses
• Required theology courses

A Place to Become 

You want to go to college. You have goals and dreams. Maybe you’re not quite sure what those goals and dreams are yet — that’s OK. At Lutheran South, we take an active role in who you become. We encourage you to be your best by taking the tough courses, working through personal hurts and triumphs, and by setting goals for yourself and then meeting them. Not every student can be a valedictorian or a star athlete, but all students can use their gifts and talents to the best of their ability and to God’s glory. 

• 98% of our graduates go on to college.
• Our graduates become leaders in their communities, their churches, and their homes.
