SCHOOL PRINCIPLES
WE BELIEVE a Christ-centered school, in which all subjects, moral values, discipline,
and extra-curricular activities are taught from a Christian point of view, can
be more successful in developing a child's way of life than any other agency
except the Christian home.
WE BELIEVE Good Shepherd Lutheran School, with its
foundation firmly established in the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ and empowered
by the Holy Spirit, offers to all students the highest quality Christian education,
allowing each student to reach his / her fullest development educationally,
morally, socially, and spiritually.
WE BELIEVE the quality of Good Shepherd Lutheran School
lies, to a great extent, with consecrated and dedicated teachers and their desire
to love and nurture each student.
WE BELIEVE Good Shepherd Lutheran School must carry
out the Savior's command to go and make disciples of all nations.
WE BELIEVE Good Shepherd Lutheran School follows the
directive of our Lord, "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you," and thus makes Him the focal point of its educational process.
WE BELIEVE that the school in all its teachings and
practices, subscribes to and supports the doctrinal principles of the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod.
WE BELIEVE that the future of the church, community,
and the country lies in the hands of the children.
Therefore, as a Christian school, our school is one
of the best agencies to:
Develop in children the necessary skills and attitudes
to make them responsible citizens in the community;
Teach children their proper relationship to God and
their fellow man;
Preserve its pupils to eternal life in the kingdom
of God.
To those ends, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church operates,
without profit, this elementary school to provide children quality instruction
in all subjects in accordance with the tenets of biblical faith and in the interest
of good citizenship.
