Extra Curricular Endowment - Over 90% of LHS's student body participates in at least one extracurricular event. The Extracurricular Endowment earnings are used to pay for coaching and director's stipends in areas such as athletics, music, and drama. This endowment also helps to provide extra revenue for the athletic, music, and drama programs themselves. LHS students learn so much in their extracurricular programs - leadership, character, hard work, etc. A gift to this fund ensures the future stability and viability of these opportunities and programs.

General/Memorial Endowment - Do you wish to dedicate a gift in remembrance of a loved one? A gift to the General Endowment helps LHS both now and in the future. The earnings and interest made from the General Endowment help subsidize LHS's operating budget. In other words, the more the General Endowment grows, the more earnings and interest made can help to pay utility expenses, materials, supplies, teacher salaries, etc. This endowment truly helps to slow tuition increases at LHS. LHS is honored to receive gifts in remembrance of your loved ones.

Jacob Peter Zimmer Memorial Endowment for the Fine Arts - Created in loving memory of Jacob P. Zimmer, who was tragically killed in a car accident in the fall of 2000, the Zimmer Endowment earnings are specifically used to supplement the music, art, and drama ministries of LHS. New equipment, repairs, capital products, etc. may be purchased for the music, art, and drama departments of LHS from the earnings and interest made from this endowment. Thank you for supporting the arts at LHS.

The MuelichÕs desire is that others will see the need for furthering the training of graduates for full-time church work in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and for supporting high-achieving current students and will be encouraged to contribute to this fund as well.

Melchert Operating Endowment - The earnings from this Endowment are to be used to help subsidize LHS's general operating needs. The endowment was established by the Melchert family and helps to slow increases in tuition. Thank you for helping to offset the costs of Christian education at LHS.

The earnings and interest made from this endowment provide scholarship assistance to families in need. The bigger this endowment grows, the more aid LHS can offer to future and prospective LHS students and families. Thank you for helping LHS in this great cause.

The Technology Endowment ensures that LHS will be able to provide the very best education possible to students now and in the future. As the costs of computers and technology use increase, the more operating money is needed to fund these computer hardware, software, and maintenance needs. The earnings and interest made on the Technology Endowment are used to help support the operating budget expenditures directly related to technology costs. Thank you for supporting academic excellence at LHS.

Tutor Resource Endowment - The Tutor Resource Endowment earnings are used to assist with costs of helping special needs students, students who need extra one-on-one attention, special education training and tutorial service, and learning materials for special needs students.
