Welcome Letter FromOur Principal

Dear Friends of Christ Lutheran School,

Welcome to our website! I’m glad you found us. It’s almost time to begin the 2022-2023 school year, and we are looking forward to a great year as the students, faculty, and staff grow in the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We had a few changes here at CLS, so please visit our faculty page.

If you are interested in attending CLS and would be new to our school, please call to make an appointment so that we may discuss this opportunity together. Any student who attended CLS last year, may register online or contact the school for assistance.

Don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance as you and your family begin the new school year. I can’t wait to see everyone on August 15th, the first day of school!
In Christ, Carol Gnehm

About Us

History of Christ Lutheran School

Christ Lutheran Church has placed high value on Christian education for our children. “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) Christ Lutheran School actually predates the founding of our congregation as it was founded in 1892.  The first school building was dedicated in 1896 with 104 pupils enrolled. The current building was built in 1958 and the expansion of our school was completed in 2000. 

Over the years the school building has changed, the principal and teachers have changed, the  students have changed, but these things remain: sound academic training, dedicated teachers who serve the Lord, and the importance of the word of God in the students’ daily lives.

Mission of Christ Lutheran School

The mission of Christ Lutheran School is to partner with families to equip children academically and spiritually in a loving Christ-centered environment in order to prepare the next generation to be lifelong, faithful Christians.
