History

In 1946, various Wisconsin Synod members in the Fox River Valley area began to discuss the possible creation of a "Valley Lutheran High School." When the school was founded in 1953, it began classes with only eight students and one full-time teacher, meeting in a school building rented from the Appleton School District. By the mid-1950s, enrollment had grown, and the school relocated to its own building at 2626 N. Oneida Street in 1957. Enrollment continued to grow during the 1960s and 1970s, requiring several additions to be made to the campus, including in 1965 and 1977. [5]

In 2000, the school relocated to a 63-acre (250,000 m2) campus on Meade Street, selling its old campus to the Appleton Catholic Education System, which renovated it to accommodate the growing St. Joseph Middle School. [6] In the summer of 2016, FVLHS added a metals shop and began offering automotive training in partnership with Fox Valley Technical College. In September 2017, the FVL General Board approved a $5.6 million expansion that added classroom and specialty spaces including a second art studio and a biomedical lab classroom. The new addition was dedicated in October 2018. [5] School enrollment for the 2024–25 school year is 773 students. [3]

Both boys and girls hockey and lacrosse are co-op teams. [7]
