About the School

As one of the nation's largest and oldest Lutheran high schools, we've maintained and devoted ourselves to Sharing Jesus, Shaping Lives, and Developing Leaders for over a century.
Just as thousands of Milwaukee Lutheran graduates have experienced in the past, we are different because of the work Jesus does in our school.
While other schools can share their plans to help students achieve their academic goals, Milwaukee Lutheran can do that and more! The name of Jesus is boldly and passionately proclaimed every day.
Throughout our classes, our students are able to pick up the strategies for defending their faith as they leave this school and are confronted by a world that will challenge their faith.
When spiritual maturation is most important, our students can be surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses that prepare them for the challenging times.
That is something that you cannot put a price tag on! Milwaukee Lutheran is Where Love Rules & Leaders Rise.
