Our mission is to provide a Christ-centered education to assist families in nurturing students as lifelong disciples of Christ.
Welcome
Great Plains Lutheran High School is focused on preparing students for lives of service to their communities and their Lord. In order to accomplish this, we provide a program of quality academics preparing students to enter college, tech school, or the workforce. Students learn in a safe, family-like environment in which teachers and students truly care for each other and demonstrate a high level of respect for one another.
