ABOUT US
Hope Lutheran High School was founded in 2003 by a few dedicated parents who wanted their children to learn at a Lutheran High School. Through many prayers and a lot of hard work, that dreams continues and thrives today. Students come to Hope Lutheran High School and experience the Gospel every day, in every class, from everyone.
OVERVIEW
Hope's mission is clear and simple: Preserve and extend the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
​
Hope Lutheran has been enrolling approximately 70-90 students from year to year in grades 9-12. Many of these students are members at Lutheran Church Missouri Synod congregations, while others are members of other area Christian churches, and some hear about God's Word for the first time at Hope.
​
The Hope Association is strong and ever growing. It is comprised of 10 local congregations and 3 local elementary schools. We are blessed to have such widespread support!
