TESTIMONIALS

Cindy K.

Cindy K.

Former Parent

We are so grateful our children were able to attend St. Mark's Lutheran School. The small classroom setting allowed them to get a lot of one-on-one attention, and the multi-grade setting allowed them to assist younger classmates and grow into caring people. But most importantly, the school gave both of our children a strong spiritual background to rely on when they went to a large public high school. It helped them handle challenges and conflicts as teenagers. And it will continue to define them as they grow into adults.

Current Parent

As a first-time parent of a school-ager, I really felt comfortable with the small school and the multi-grade classroom format. Also being on a first-name basis with all the staff, not just my son's teacher, I knew everyone was on our team to help my child be successful. I truly see the school living out their motto of preparing my child for today, tomorrow and their eternal salvation.

CURRENT PARENT

The reason Julie and I chose St. Mark for our kids is because all throughout my parochial school upbringing I was taught to be a "man for others" and to be honest I have never seen this more apparent or practiced than by watching the Principal interact with our kids and the rest of the children at St. Mark. This not only applies to the Principal but to the St. Mark family as a whole. That being said, Julie and I believe that our kids will get the Christian education they will need to build a solid foundation in becoming true "men for others". The Principal and the St. Mark family has truly been a blessing for our family.

  • ABOUT US

    Preparing lambs for today, the future, and eternity

    In the fall of 1978, St. Mark Lutheran School opened it's door to the commitment of "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6). Since then, we have been blessed to be serving our passion and have outgrown our current school capacity. Through the new school building, projected to be completed in November of 2017, we will be able to better serve the children in our community.
