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 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 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 can not 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 continue to make progress towards the goals of our five-year strategic plan, Shine. We completed a full renovation of our main classroom wing for the start of the 2024-2025 school year. 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 65th 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 2024-25 school year is “We Are LuHi, We Are Blessed”, inspired by Matthew 5:1-12. In this famous passage, known as The Beatitudes, Jesus outlines many uncommon or counter-cultural ways in which people are “blessed”. We rarely think of those who mourn, those who are poor in spirit, meek, or persecuted as blessed. However, we are encouraged to remember that our reward will be great when we endure difficult times. I love that our community will be able to explore this theme together. Centering on this truth gives LuHi students a powerful tool when encountering the inevitable challenges that they will face in life, truly educating them in spirit.

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.
