History

On February 9, 1965, a pastoral conference of Pontiac, Rochester, Utica, and Mount Clemens met at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Union Lake, Michigan to hear a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod present Lutheran High Schools - Why? [2]

Following this conference, a committee was selected to outline a study on the viability of a Lutheran school in the area. In early 1966, representatives from 38 congregations in Oakland and Macomb counties met and formed three committees: Membership, Site, and Finance. The representatives passed a resolution to form an ad-hoc Lutheran High School North Committee. From this group, an executive committee, made up of pastors and teachers, discussed plans for further organization.

Funding for obtaining the land and building of the school was lacking in the early stages, but through the sales of bonds, other properties obtained by the site committee, and donations the money needed to acquire properties for two Lutheran High School sites was raised. The funds received from this venture also allowed the opportunity to open Lutheran High School North in September 1972 with a first-year enrollment of 77 students. [2]

Student Demographics

As of the 2019–2020 school year the total enrollment was 560 students. Approximately 53% of the students were female, while 47% were male. [3]

The school saw a somewhat steady decrease in enrollment between 2005 and 2011, but it appears to have plateaued since then. [5]

Athletics

Lutheran North is a member of the Catholic High School League (CHSL) in southeastern Michigan. Currently, the school offers students the opportunity to participate in 21 varsity sports. [6] To date, the baseball, dance, girls golf, softball, and boys basketball teams have each claimed their respective championship titles.
