With eighteen Lutheran grade schools, a Lutheran high school, and the nickname “The City of Churches,” students and families can be confident that they will find people who share their faith. The city is often recognized as a great place to raise a family, thanks to its safe neighborhoods, low cost of living, and numerous employment opportunities.
