Enrollment & Community
St. Paul Lutheran High School serves students in grades 9–12 with a total enrollment of 55, offering a close-knit, Christ-centered environment where every student is seen and supported. We believe an excellent education should never be limited by finances, which is why 85% of our students receive financial assistance. Located in the heart of the Mineral Area, our campus provides a safe, nurturing place for students to grow academically, spiritually, and personally, supported by a community that helps them build confidence, compassion, and leadership.
Academic Excellence
Our commitment to strong academics is reflected in our students’ achievements. The class of 2025 earned $850,000 in merit-based scholarships, a testament to their dedication and our focus on preparing students for college and beyond. Through a robust Dual Credit and Dual Enrollment program with local community colleges and universities, St. Paul students gain a head start on higher education, with 28 students completing a combined 229 college credit hours last year across a wide range of subjects.
Our Mission & Faith
At St. Paul, our mission is to create an exemplary learning community dedicated to academic excellence, character development, and spiritual growth. As God’s chosen people, we live in community with one another and serve those around us, reflecting Christ’s love in our words and actions.
