Lutheran High School North (LHSN) is a parochial Christian high school in St. Louis County, Missouri in the United States. It currently offers education in grades nine through twelve, and is associated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Lutheran North's mission states the following:
"Lutheran High School North is a diverse educational community whose unity is in Jesus Christ. We exist to nurture young Christians for further education and Christian service."
Lutheran North is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, National Lutheran Schools and is a Charter Member of the National Alliance of High Schools. It's governing body is a 15-member Board of Trustees, appointed by the 63 member congregations of the Lutheran High School Association of the Greater St. Louis Area. Lutheran North is currently administrated by Mr. Timothy Brackman as Principal and Mr. Daniel Wenger as Dean of Students.
Lutheran North operates on an alternating-day block schedule consisting of eight blocks. The first four blocks are held on Maroon (A) Days and the remaining four blocks are held on Gold (B) Days. Lutheran North was one of the first high schools in the St. Louis area to move from a traditional 7-period schedule to the block schedule. This took place in the 1994-1995 school year. In addition, the school has long been noted for its emphasis on the integration of technology in the classroom. Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, Lutheran North, along with its sister school, Lutheran High School South, started a "One to one" technology initiative. This initiative was intended to help students integrate technology into all aspects of their education, most notably through the distribution of iPads to every student and faculty member.
Over 85% of the teachers at Lutheran North hold a Master's degree. Over 96% of the students who graduate from LHSN attend a four-year university and about 95% of the student body participates in at least one co-curricular activity.
The theme for the 2015/2016 school year is "Deeply Rooted," based loosely on the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13.
Worship Services at Lutheran North can be divided into the following two categories:
