residence life

More than half of Saint Paul Lutheran High School students reside on campus in separate residence halls for boys and girls. Each resident hall has a supervisor who guides and directs resident-life activities and serves as role models, confidants, and advisers.

Questions about Health Services can be directed to the school, or to Mrs. Hentges at 660.463.2238 ext. 231, or email.

Some helpful tips from the nurse:
  • take a shower first and then see how you feel
  • eat breakfast every day
  • drink water; hydration is important to your health
  • limit your screen time
  • get quality sleep
  • calling, texting, or emailing the nurse is not the protocol; go see her in person
  • do not text the dorm counselor on days the nurse is in
  • do not call the SPO
  • Mrs. Hentges can only properly assess you in person in her office
    • if you come to the nurse's office and she is not available, then go to the SPO
