School History


Shepherd of the Lakes Lutheran Church launched their preschool program in 1982. After almost twenty years of operation the church adopted a dynamic vision for the future and plans were put in place to add an elementary school. In September 2001 Shepherd of the Lakes Lutheran Church realized their vision. In March 2003 they completed their largest building project with the addition of a new worship center, school classrooms, offices, nurseries, and book store.

In September of 2007 the preschool celebrated its 25th year of operation. Additional class availability and a full-day kindergarten session was made available. In September of 2009 we expanded our school by adding a prekindergarten program, and in September 2010 we began to offer extended care for our preschoolers. Sixth grade was added for the 2012-2013 school year, and seventh was added for the 2013-2014 school year.

Currently, we have a growing school offering classes for students from three years old through seventh grade.

It is the school’s mission to partner with families, building a foundation of faith, knowledge, and discipleship.
