WLHS is a distinctively WELS Lutheran high school (more than 60 percent of the students are WELS Lutheran), but does seek and welcome all young men and women who desire a comprehensive, Christ-centered secondary education.
WLHS is a family of students, teachers, and staff working and learning together in a safe, caring, and Christian environment.
Ninety-six percent of WLHS graduates enroll in a post-secondary institution, many receiving scholarships and academic recognition. We offer accelerated courses in English, science, psychology, and mathematics to give students an advantage after they’ve graduated.
WLHS has a proud athletic reputation and history, and many titles and trophies to show for it.
More than 67 percent of WLHS students are involved in co-curricular activities, a great opportunity to meet new friends and to provide valuable experience for future life roles.
Over $700,00 in tuition assistance and scholarships is bestowed annually to make our school affordable to everyone. Seventy-five percent of the student body receives some form of tuition assistance.
