Heartland Lutheran High School enrolls students in grades 9-12.  Heartland Lutheran High School desires to serve families who want an academically fulfilling, Christian secondary education for their children.

 

All incoming students must go through an application process that includes completing an application, submitting appropriate recommendations, and providing proof of past academic performance.  The final step of the  application process is the completion of a “admissions consultation” in which the parents and student meet with the Principal (or his designee).  See below for a checklist of steps.

 

Heartland Lutheran High School encourages its students and their families to be active in a Christian congregation, but church membership or attendance is not required for enrollment.

 

Heartland Lutheran High School reserves the right to accept or decline any student application.

 

The following steps are to be completed as part of the application and admission procedures:

 

____ 1. Submit a completed Application for Admission and the $100 non-refundable application fee.

 

____ 2. Submit completed recommendations: School Recommendations (to be completed by an administrator or guidance counselor, English teacher, and math teacher of the student’s current school) and Church Recommendation (to be completed by a pastor or church worker from the student’s congregation).  If the student does not have a church home, a character recommendation must be completed (by a non- family member) instead.

 

____ 3. If entering the 9th grade, provide a report card from a recent grading period.  If transferring in, provide a copy of the student’s high school transcript.

 

____ 4. Sign an Authorization to Release Student Information form.

 

____ 5. Submit a completed Application Survey.

 

____ 6. Schedule and attend an admissions consultation with the Principal or his designee.  The student and parents must attend this appointment.  Other family members are invited to attend but are not required.  The goal of the appointment is to get to know the student and family and to make sure that you feel comfortable with Heartland Lutheran.  We want to be able to answer all of your questions and we want to ask questions that will help us make sure that the student is set up for success.  Selecting classes and participation in extra-curricular activities will also be discussed at this meeting,

 

Based on this information, the Principal decides to accept or decline the application.  This acceptance or declination is then communicated with the parents.  Under special circumstances, parents may be required to provide additional documentation regarding the academic or behavioral history of the student. 

 

If the student is accepted, the family must complete a registration process which includes:

 

· Submitting the Registration Packet and the $300 registration fee.

 

· Heartland Lutheran will request documentation from the students previous school.  If the file is incomplete, more information such a birth certificate and health forms may be required.

 

Heartland Lutheran High School tries to serve students of varying academic abilities.  However, the school does not have the resources needed to serve students who have significant academic needs.  HLHS makes accommodations as appropriate and possible, but may not be able to fulfill all requirements of an IEP or 504 plan.

 

Heartland Lutheran High School desires to surround its students with positive influences.  Applicants who desire to transfer to Heartland Lutheran because of an extended suspension or expulsion from their present or previous school will likely be denied enrollment.  However, each application is considered on an individual basis.
