A letter from our Principal

Dear Prospective Family, 

Thank you for your interest in Pacific Lutheran Jr/Sr High School!  Becoming part of the PacLu community has many advantages for both your student and your family.   

PacLu is: 

• SMALL: With about 130 students from 6th-12th grade, the classes are small, allowing students to interact more with their teachers while getting the education that is designed to meet their individual needs. 
• SAFE: Safeguarded against the outside world, our campus is fenced and monitored to keep students and staff guarded against intruders.  Emergency plans ensure student safety is a top priority. 
• SECURE: Not just physically safe, students are made to feel secure expressing ideas and opinions in a loving, caring environment.  PacLu strives to educate the whole child, academically, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. 
• FORWARD THINKING: Your student’s academic journey is important, so choosing courses designed to help students prepare for their future is a priority and assistance with career planning allows students to think ahead to the next phase of their journey. 
• ACTIVE: Clubs and activities are built into the weekly schedule, and students may choose from a variety of courses that allow students to be challenged, creative, innovative, or to better themselves.  Sports are also part of the PacLu lineup, teaching good sportsmanship in a competitive arena, with programs for both junior high and high school. 
• A THRIVING COMMUNITY: Families and students feel connected to PacLu and to each other through a variety of activities that bring them together throughout the school year.  Long-lasting bonds are created between families and students, strengthening the community and the positive attitude felt on and beyond our campus. 

And, most importantly, 

• CHRIST-CENTERED: Everything at PacLu is rooted in and around the Love of Jesus, good moral values, and basic Biblical truths. Theology courses, weekly chapels, and faith integration within all courses give students a Christian foundation that will allow them to become future Christian leaders in our non-Christian world.  

My two daughters were raised in Lutheran schools with similar advantages, and both are thriving as young adults.  I would not have wanted anything but this type of atmosphere for them, and I thank God for the Lutheran education they each received. 

If this is the type of atmosphere that would benefit your student, please consider Pacific Lutheran.  I am happy to meet and answer any questions that you have.  Our team is ready to partner with you to help meet and exceed your student’s goals.   

Looking forward to meeting you! 

Dr. Kit Hittinger
