The mission of Saint Paul Lutheran High is to provide curricular and co-curricular experiences in a Christian environment that equip students for joyful, faithful service to Christ and His world.
Our mission is shaped, in part, by those the school educates.
One of Saint Paul's blessings has been to serve a unique student body. Saint Paul combines the best of a community based school and a boarding, residential high school.
About half of Saint Paul students come from Concordia and surrounding communities.
The remainder come from across the United States and from all parts of the world: Latvia, Hong Kong, Nigeria, Norway, Japan, Argentina, and many other countries.
Together we share a goal of progressing in our walk of faith and maintaining high standards for academic achievement.
The mission of Saint Paul thrives on the support of its great friends, parents, and alumni.
They lend their talents, keep us in their prayers, take in events, and serve.
