First Good Shepherd Lutheran School is an educational institution sponsored by First Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. It strives to prepare and educate children so that they might better be able to lead a God-pleasing life as American citizens here on earth, as well as to direct them to know and love our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and thus by faith in Him, receive citizenship with Him in heaven.

First Good Shepherd Lutheran School Principal: Mr. James E. Krafft.

THE CURRICULUM
The curriculum of First Good Shepherd Lutheran School follows the general course of study for Lutheran schools. This includes a comprehensive study of the Christian doctrine found in the Holy Scriptures. With few exceptions, text books used in our school are State adopted books. Religious texts are produced by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.

PROFILE
First Good Shepherd Lutheran School is part of the total program of Christian education in the congregation. It does however, accept children who are not members of First Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Since enrollment is limited, children who are members have preference.

First Good Shepherd Lutheran School offers Kindergarten and the six elementary grades in seven classrooms, with an individual teacher for each grade.

The school is not equipped to serve exceptional children, nor is it an institution for disciplinary cases. Such students require specialized care.

Our school sponsors extra-curricular activities for numerous athletic teams for both boys and girls. We have co-ed volleyball for grades 4-6, co-ed basketball in the winter and a spring track meet for children in all grades. Two musicals are presented by the entire student body: one prior to Christmas and another in the spring. We offer scouting and chess club for children of all ages. In the fall, our parents sponsor a day-long carnival and in the spring a field day for the entire student body. School award parties are presented to children with good conduct and the principal’s award is an honor to be achieved by those students who have outstanding conduct.

First Good Shepherd Lutheran School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies and other school administered programs.
