Parenthood is a sacred trust with which the Lord as blessed you. The duties and responsibilities of child rearing are yours. St. Paul's Lutheran School wishes to assist you in these obligations by providing the best possible education for your child - a Christian Education. It is our sincere desire that your child be taught a Christ-centered way of life in a Christian atmosphere by mature Christian teachers who are free to exercise their faith in actions, thus supplementing the nurturing that you as parents have faithfully begun.
