Governance:
Ownership: Heartland Lutheran High School is owned by an association of congregations of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS):
Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Ravenna St. Paul Lutheran Church, Shelton
Christ Lutheran Church, Cairo St. Peter Lutheran Church, Hampton
Grace Lutheran Church, Grand Island Trinity Lutheran Church, Grand Island
Peace Lutheran Church, Grand Island Zion Lutheran Church, Hastings
St. Paul Lutheran Church, Central City Zion Lutheran Church, Worms

The main governing body is the Delegate Assembly which consists of 6 or 7 representatives from each of these association congregations. The Delegate Assembly meets four times a year to oversee the operation of the school. The Delegate Assembly elects the eleven member Board of Directors for HLHS which conducts, manages and administers the affairs of the association and the school. The board cares for the finances of the school, sets policies, and employs all personnel.
