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.
