First Evang Lutheran School

520 West Avenue S, La Crosse, WI, 54601-0546 -

School Notes Overview:

First Lutheran School was first organized in 1859 by Pastor Fachtmann, our first Pastor, who maintained it for 7 years before the first teacher was hired. Remaining as a Christian day school since its inception, our school blossomed from only a few pupils to a record enrollment of 295 students set in 1961. In recent years, our school has maintained a fairly stable enrollment from about 150-160 students. The first schoolhouse which also served as the church was located on Fourth Street near Market Square. In April of 1860 a Methodist church building was purchased and moved to the corner of 5th and Jay Street. It was moved again in the spring of 1864 to the corner of 5th and Cass while still remaining as the church and school. This building was moved one last time to the rear of the lot in 1869 where it functioned as the school until 1880. ...
