About Living Word Lutheran High School
Opening God’s Word. Opening Kids’ Worlds.
Living Word Lutheran High School is a state-accredited, Christ-centered, high school connected through the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).
Serving families across the Greater Milwaukee Area, including Ozaukee, Washington, Milwaukee, Dodge, and Waukesha counties, Living Word is home to over 300 students representing more than 60 different churches and 30 feeder schools — all united by faith in Christ and a shared commitment to excellence in Christian education.
We joyfully welcome families from all Christian faith backgrounds — because if you believe in Jesus, welcome to the team! Our community reflects the diversity of God’s Kingdom — families from many backgrounds coming together with one purpose: to help students grow in faith, knowledge, and character as they discover who God created them to be.
We partner with parents to nurture each child’s academic, spiritual, and personal growth, reminding every student that their true value is not defined by the world, but by their identity in Christ.
OUR MISSION
At Living Word, our mission is simple yet powerful:
“Opening God’s Word. Opening kids’ worlds.”
​
Our calling is to transform not just how students learn, but how they live, lead, and love while being rooted in a Christian and biblical worldview.
THE LIVING WORD DIFFERENCE
Living Word Lutheran is more than a school — it’s a faith-filled family.
We are a community of diverse students, teachers, and parents who believe that education should do more than inform; it should transform.
What Makes Us Different:
-
Christ-Centered Learning: Every subject and activity reflects a biblical worldview.
-
Personal Relationships: Teachers, coaches, and administrators know each student by name.
-
Holistic Growth: Students explore academics, athletics, arts, and service — developing mind, body, and spirit.
-
Safe, Supportive Community: We provide a caring, values-driven environment where every child feels known and loved.
-
Excellence in Education: Our rigorous academics, innovative teaching, and college-credit opportunities prepare students for life beyond graduation.
​
We don’t just teach. We walk with students, helping them understand that their value isn’t defined by others but by who God created them to be.​​

How We Live Our Promise
At Living Word Lutheran High School,
​
We meet students where they’re at and lead them to something bigger — so they can meet the world where it’s at and lead it to something better.
​
This promise drives everything we do — from classroom instruction to athletics, service projects, and worship. We believe in meeting hearts with truth, nurturing faith, and equipping young people to shine as lights in a complex world.
LWLHS offers a curriculum that will prepare your child for the demands of college, career, and beyond. With “Christ as our foundation,” it is understood that the Biblically Christian worldview will be part of each classroom.
Living Word Lutheran Timberwolves athletics exist to augment academic and spiritual development of your child by positively contributing to the school-wide goal of developing the total person in Jesus Christ.
Living Word provides the opportunity for your child to explore and express their God-given talents through art, drama, music, and more!
Living Word’s traditions are the heartbeat of our school. From the laughter and unity of The Feast to the challenge and teamwork of the Wolf Mudder, and the learning of new cultures in our International Trips, these events create shared experiences that bond students together.
Student life at Living Word goes beyond the classroom. With athletics, music, fine arts, clubs, and leadership opportunities, students can explore their passions, build friendships, and grow in faith—proving that even in a smaller school, there’s always a way to get involved and make an impact.
What sets Living Word apart is that everything we do is centered on Christ. This message of Christ is spread in the classroom, on the athletic fields, in music productions, and intertwined into our campus life.
