Welcome!
From the Principal
Welcome to Good Shepherd Lutheran School! It is my pleasure and opportunity to greet you in His name. This is our 26th year in offering a "Quality Christian Education". Our student body is over 435 students in preschool through 8th grade, while serving 25 communities. These students will have the opportunity to hear the grace, love and forgiveness of our Lord Jesus Christ from quality, caring Christian teachers.
GSLS has a staff of over 30 teachers who are committed to providing a quality Christian education with emphasis of a Christ-centered environment. In addition to the regular curricular areas, our students also benefit from instruction in Art, German, Spanish, Latin, Technology, Physical Education, Pee Wee basketball, Music - band, choir, and piano & string lessons - and a resource teacher. We also provide opportunities with interscholastic sports in cross country, volleyball, baseball, basketball, cheerleading, and track.
Our school theme is "Serving One Another In Love", which is based on Gal. 5:13b. We will be focusing on teaching one to serve as Christ served us. This theme will be emphasized in the classrooms, morning announcements, chapel, in our school and classroom newsletters, and through interactions with our families. Christ’s example is one, we as Christians need to model in our daily lives. Please keep us in your prayers as we seek His guidance as we serve Him.
We believe Good Shepherd Lutheran School is a great place to grow in knowledge and understanding, in skills for living, in getting along, in developing our God-given abilities and most importantly in our faith and life with Jesus. GSLS also serves families in various ways and helps parents carry out their parental responsibilities in Christian education. Partnership in education is a must as we strive to serve our school families.
Please look around our website or contact us to learn more about Good Shepherd Lutheran School and how we can work together to help benefit your child and family.
Serving Him,
Robert Mayhew, Principal
