Students and faculty were blessed with good company and delicious food! We enjoyed cheese burgers off the grill and hot french fries cooked to perfection by our own Lutheran High Grill Crew. What a wonderful way to end Welcome Week! Thank you to Doug Kibler, Kathy and Steve Koester, Pastor John Ramsey (First English Church), and Tyrone Tedesco for sharing their mad cooking skills and love for Lutheran High! ❤️🖤

​Welcome back, Gryphons! It's wonderful to see our hallways and classrooms buzzing with energy again. At the first Chapel of the school year, Pastor Nare introduced our theme, "Make a Joyful Noise." The choir, led by Mr. Scriber, shared their musical talents and inspired us all to join in making a joyful noise. Pastor Ramsey from First English Lutheran Church installed and blessed our faculty and staff in a school-wide Chapel celebration yesterday. Gryphons, let's make this the best school year yet!

​At Lutheran High, we know that critical and creative thinking are not separate skills; they go hand in hand. That's why we believe in exposing our students to the arts in and out of the classroom. Our arts program is designed to help students visualize complex concepts, communicate their ideas effectively, and build confidence while expressing their individual creative spirit. Many thanks to Josh Wingerter, with Josh Wingerter Art, for hosting our students at his studio for an interactive art experience during the school year. Our students had fun and learned so much about the creative process.

​Pastor Richard Rudnik from Grace Lutheran Church, Houma, LA joined us to celebrate our Rising Seniors, LHS Class of 2026, as they received their class rings.  Pastor Rudnik referenced Proverbs 25:12 in his message.  As seniors they will have the opportunity to earn the trust of underclassmen so that they may share wisdom and guide them in a caring way.
