History of the Great Plains Lutheran High School Association
From January 1979 - July 1995
Introduction
The first group among the constituency of the Dakota-Montana District to address the issue of an area Lutheran high school was called the "Committee for Christian Secondary Education." This group began working in January 1979, with people of the Mobridge, SD vicinity and alumni of Northwestern Lutheran Academy (NLA). Initial planning was aimed at assuming control of the NLA facilities. The hope was that enough interest could be generated within the District to provide for the survival of NLA at Mobridge, SD.

Northwestern Lutheran Academy (NLA) Closed
On May 14, 1979, Synod's Coordinating Council voted to recommend to the Synod Convention that NLA be closed immediately. Leaders of the local committee felt that NLA would indeed be closed due to lack of time to organize within a few short months. In August 1979, the WELS Convention resolved to close Northwestern Lutheran Academy after 51 years of operation and offered the campus to the constituency of the Dakota-Montana District for use as an area Lutheran high school.
