THANK YOU!
Thank you to our awesome Servants of the Saints parents & volunteers! The Sausage Dinner and the Spring Rummage Sale continue to provide opportunities for our community and raise money for SPLHS student life. We appreciate their hard work & vision!
Parents of Seniors
Seniors may begin sending Mrs. Marsh a list of all scholarships they have been awarded so that they can be acknowledged at the Awards Banquet on Thursday, May 14. We want to acknowledge and celebrate their accomplishments, but need help in doing so. Students may email a list to Mrs. Marsh or bring in a hard copy list. If students have received scholarships from specific universities, please only list the scholarships awarded by the school they plan to attend.
Seniors should also be sure that they have completed all necessary paperwork for Mrs. Fiene. These forms will be available after Easter Break.
- Final Transcript Form – Every graduate will have their final transcript sent for free to the school they plan to attend, but the form must be completed so that Mrs. Fiene knows where exactly to send the transcript.
- Yearbook Form – This tells Mrs. Fiene where to send the graduate’s yearbook if it needs to be shipped when they arrive next fall.
- SEVIS Transfer Form – This form is for any international graduates who plan to attend school in the USA next year.
- Co-Validation Form – This form may be needed for some international students who require co-validation when they return to their home country.
Parents of Freshman Students
Mrs. Schmidt recently sent 9th grade parents a private message on Saints Central requesting orientation feedback. Please take a look.
Parents of Returning Students
All returning students will have an opportunity to make a schedule for 2026-2027 prior to the end of this school year. Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Schmidt will meet with current juniors, sophomores, and freshmen by the end of the year. Email and informer announcements will be made once the schedule for next school is ready.
Each year returning students are required to re-enroll online on the Saints Central platform. Please complete re-enrollment no later than July 1. Re-enrollment allows the principal’s office to enter a student’s chosen class schedule into Saints Central. Completing re-enrollment assists Mrs. Fiene, the administration, and teachers so that appropriate plans can be made for the upcoming school year.
Mission: The Mission of Saint Paul Lutheran High School is to provide curricular and co-curricular experiences in a Christian environment that equips students for joyful, faithful service to Christ and His World.
VISION: We are Saints chosen for vocations that use all of our gifts to live the love of Jesus in this broken world.
