Congregational funding and student tuition form the majority of support for the operation of the school. Additional support and resources come from annual fund raising events, LuFest, Sports Boosters, Music Boosters, and from many individuals and groups who actively support the school through their gifts, their time and talents, and their prayers. It is through the efforts of these many friends of Lutheran High School that the tuition charges are less than the cost of education.
