What Does Christian Education Mean to Me?

Thoughts from one of the freshmen that our SLHS faculty and staff is privileged to serve:

My Christian is very important to me because I am one of the people who didn't get the advantage of going to a Christian grade school. In 2014 I started my freshman year at a private Lutheran school. And let me tell you there is certainly a huge difference! There's a difference in the way people act, the way the classes are, and even in the way I learn. The people here are not only helpful Christians; they are incredibly friendly and they don't make me feel alone. Instead, they make me feel welcome and wanted. Some of them even make me feel like I'm family to them. And I'm not learning about evolution in science all the time. No... instead the teachers are always putting God into the lesson. And I have a religion class where I hear God's word everyday, and where I learn about his wonderful grace and mercy. At SLHS I'm growing in his grace every second of every minute of every hour of every day. Each day after our second class, the whole school goes to the gym for chapel, and we sing him praises and hear his word. Most people would say, "Yeah, big deal. We do that every Sunday," but to me it is a big deal. ~Julia Duensing, Class of 2018
