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.
