Why Lutheran Secondary Education?

Lutheran High Schools in the Southeast Michigan area are an educational ministry of
Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod congregations. They exist to “teach them everything
our Lord has commanded.” Their purpose is to provide academic excellence in a
Christian environment that seeks to witness to students and their families, promote
growth in faith and life, and prepare students to “walk the talk” as they enter an ever
more challenging society for believers.

Truly, the heart of education is the education of the heart. To keep faith with our youth
our schools must be centers of rigor, relevance, and relationships. Our Mission: A
Ministry to Young People as stated in the Constitution, “The object, aim, and purpose of
this Association shall be: 1) To foster Christian secondary education in harmony with the
Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions; 2) To establish, own, manage, and maintain
schools for that purpose; 3) To offer a suitable curriculum which maintains proper
accreditation with recognized church and state education.
