LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

Many Lutheran high schools across the nation are owned and operated by an association of congregations. With the help of local Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) congregations, the Lutheran High School Association (LHSA) was incorporated in Southeast Michigan more than 75 years ago (1944). Since then, LHSA schools have provided a Christian education for more than 15,000 students!

Ownership of our multi-school system ultimately rests with the "participating" congregations. These congregations choose to assist member families at various levels of congregational support, and ultimately, this helps bring down the cost of a LHSA education (if you are a member of one of these congregations).

To learn more about the LHSA, please visit www.LHSA.com.
