Mission Statement
”Lutheran
High South is committed to providing a Christ-centered learning environment,
preparing students for lives of witness and service to Jesus Christ and
others.”
Philosophy
Lutheran High School South of
the Lutheran High School Association of Greater Detroit is dedicated to the
Christian Education of students in grades 9-12. Its instruction and training
are pointed toward providing a strong educational background while helping
students grow in the grace and knowledge of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the central concern and norm for
the school's life and work. We believe
that God's Word as revealed in the Bible (and correctly summarized by the
Lutheran confessions) is the one means by which a person comes to know God in
both His judgment and grace. The understanding of God's Word leads the student
to see his mission as one of Christian service within the school and the
community as well as the world. The student lives for a life of service in this
world, as well as the sure hope of eternal life in heaven with Christ.
Because we are convinced that the formal education experience
should cultivate and develop the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - we
strive to give a strong educational foundation to prepare our students for
future education experiences or certain fields of work. We realize that
individual endowments differ and we take this into consideration for our
students. We want to motivate them to develop fully the talents God has given
them.
We recognize that the foundation for Christian education and the
Christian lifestyle is the Christian home, and this remains the responsibility
of Christian parents. Lutheran High School South builds upon that foundation in
proportion to its strength, the abilities of the students, and the cooperation
of the home. We work together with parents to fulfill the responsibilities of
teaching, guiding, and modeling which have previously begun in the home life
and the congregational life of the child.
History
Under the guidance of God, the Lutheran High School movement has
grown from small beginnings to a large and expanding force in Christian
education in the metropolitan Detroit area. Since its organization in 1944, it has grown to a system
of five high schools (Lutheran East-Harper Woods, Lutheran North-Macomb,
Lutheran Northwest-Rochester Hills, Lutheran Westland-Westland and Lutheran
South-Newport) with a combined student enrollment over 1300 students.
The first home of Detroit Lutheran High School was at 1000 West
Grand Boulevard, and Rev. E. W. Anderson was the first principal. In 1951 the
school moved to 5040 Joy Road in order to accommodate more students.
Construction of Lutheran East and West began in 1956 and these schools opened in
1957. Lutheran North opened in 1972, Lutheran Northwest in 1978 and Lutheran
High School Westland in 1986.
Lutheran High South began with the first class of students in
August, 2000. The 25-acre school property is located at 8260 N. Telegraph Road,
Newport. Mr. Steve Garrabrant is the current principal.
