School Principles
WE BELIEVE a Christ-centered school, in which all subjects, moral values, discipline, and extra-curricular activities are taught from a Christian point of view, can be more successful in developing a child's way of life than any other agency except the Christian home.
WE BELIEVE Good Shepherd Lutheran School, with its foundation firmly established in the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, offers to all students the highest quality Christian education, allowing each student to reach his / her fullest development educationally, morally, socially, and spiritually.
WE BELIEVE the quality of Good Shepherd Lutheran School lies, to a great extent, with consecrated and dedicated teachers and their desire to love and nurture each student.
WE BELIEVE Good Shepherd Lutheran School must carry out the Savior's command to go and make disciples of all nations.
WE BELIEVE Good Shepherd Lutheran School follows the directive of our Lord, "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you," and thus makes Him the focal point of its educational process.
WE BELIEVE that the school in all its teachings and practices, subscribes to and supports the doctrinal principles of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
WE BELIEVE that the future of the church, community, and the country lies in the hands of the children.
Therefore, as a Christian school, our school is one of the best agencies to:
- Preserve its pupils to eternal life in the kingdom of God
- Teach children their proper relationship to God and their fellow man
- Develop in children the necessary skills and attitudes to make them responsible citizens in the community
To those ends, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church operates, without profit, this elementary school to provide children quality instruction in all subjects in accordance with the tenets of biblical faith and in the interest of good citizenship.
