Welcome from the Head of School

In the fall of 1998, I began my journey at LuHi. Rigorous academics, top-notch extracurriculars, and a transformative campus ministry program all made an incredibly positive impact on my life. Although more than twenty-five years have passed, these qualities are still the fabric of the LuHi experience. As a family in Christ, we are committed to developing compassionate and educated leaders for the future. With this vision as our focus, I can say with confidence that LuHi graduates are prepared to be leaders who affect positive change in the world!

I am so pleased you have decided to visit our website, and I hope this page serves as an exciting introduction to our unique school community. After learning more about LuHi, I encourage you to schedule a visit with us. Pictures alone cannot do our beautiful campus justice, and words can not fully describe the kind and caring aura in the hallways and classrooms. I am confident that you will come away impressed.

It is an exciting time in our school’s history, as we build upon the progress of our five-year strategic plan, Shine, and pursue the goals of our new plan, Shine On. In 2024, we completed a full renovation of our main classroom wing. This 30,000 square foot facility now provides students and faculty with a premier learning environment. Our STEM and Innovation Center serves as a hallmark in the new space, while state-of-the-art videoconferencing technology, science laboratories, and well-lit and comfortable classrooms inspire students to fulfill their potential. It has been priceless to see the faces of our faculty, students, families, and alumni as they explore and collaborate!

LuHi currently celebrates its 66th year in ministry. As we reflect on our history and look toward the future, we lean into our mission “to glorify God by educating young people in body, mind, and spirit”. Our theme for the 2025-26 school year is “Transformed”, inspired by Romans 12: 2-8. In this passage, we are reminded, “don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.” Culture will lead us to believe things that are in direct contrast to what God says through His word. We need to intentionally build spiritual practices to center us, guide us, and keep us focused on what is true. I am grateful that our students are encouraged to be transformed through weekly chapel services, mission trips, and daily prayer. Genuine relationships with classmates, staff, and faculty also support each student on his or her spiritual journey. A LuHi education is truly transformational!

Once again, thank you for taking the time to learn more about our special school. I am confident that as you explore, you will see that there is truly no place like LuHi.
