Pacific Lutheran High School generally admits incoming students months prior to the subsequent school year. Occasionally, students enroll during the school year if space allows and the student will be a positive contributor to the academic atmosphere at P.L.H.S. The enrollment process is simple. Please complete and submit an an enrollment packet and schedule an interview with Principal Lucas Fitzgerald through the school office.
Once a student is accepted, he or she will be given an English and Mathematics placement exam to assess ability and help place him/her in appropriate classes. There will be orientation days before the school year begins for incoming students to help integrate them into the school family of Pacific Lutheran High School.
Recent additions to the educational environment at Pacific Lutheran High School include Online Grades, SchoolReach Communication, Turning Point Group Response Systems, and an upgraded computer lab. If you have any questions regarding these new changes and how they might positively impact your child, feel free to communicate with the school office.
