BRIEF HISTORY OF GRACE LUTHERAN SCHOOL
 Grace
Lutheran School was organized in 1908 under Pastor E. Zucker, who also
served as the only teacher until 1911 when Mr. J. Tonjes was installed
as the regular teacher. School sessions were held in a wing of the church
until 1916 when the school had to close because of the lack of children.
Again, in January 1948, Grace Congregation decided to open a school
beginning with Kindergarten. The following year grade one was added,
followed by grade two the year after.
The original building was erected in 1951 and dedicated on January 13, 1952,
at which time only four rooms on the west side were finished for use
as classrooms.
The largest addition came in 1977 when a gymnasium, offices,
kitchen, library and classrooms were added.
Grace Lutheran School is a part of the largest Protestant school system
in the United States. A network of 2,325 Lutheran Schools operated by
LCMS congregations provides a Christian education to more than 274,142
early childhood through secondary students.
We thank and praise God for the spiritual blessings He has bestowed
on our school, and for sustaining it these many years. We pray that He
will continue to bless our efforts as we spread God's Word to His
children.
