West Lutheran High School is blessed this year with a record enrollment of over 205 students in grades 9-12. We welcome prospective students and their parents to inquire about visiting or enrolling at West.

Although WLHS exists primarily to educate teenagers from West Lutheran High School Association congregations, a welcome is extended to other students, space permitting. Enrollment preference is given first to students from the Association churches, second to Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod/Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS/ELS) students from other congregations and then to non-WELS/ELS students. Non-WELS/ELS enrollment is currently set at 40% maximum.

Prior to enrollment, parent(s) must understand and agree with the purpose and policies of WLHS.

Nondiscrimination Policy
West Lutheran High School admits students of any race, color, national, or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities which are generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national, or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship, and loan programs, or athletic and other school administered programs.

Admission
Prospective freshmen must have satisfactorily completed the eighth grade. An official transcript of the student's academic elementary record is necessary for enrollment. Transfer students also need a current transcript.

Finances
The cost of educating a student at WLHS is borne by the parents, the Association congregations, gifts from the Wise Penny Thrift Store in Buffalo, and individual gifts to the school. The congregational offerings and individual gifts subsidize each student's tuition. The WLHS tuition schedule reflects levels of tuition cost based upon the student's church membership. Contact the office for current tuition rates and costs.

During the school year, upper graders from all area elementary schools are invited to spend a day as guests of the student body and as part of our Warrior for a Day Program

Parent Information Night
Every year WLHS holds an informational meeting for parents of prospective students. Following the meeting, parent(s) may pre-enroll students. Students, parents, faculty members, and alumni present information about WLHS academics and extra-curricular activities.

Registration/Orientation/Fee Payment Day
Registrations are accepted throughout the school year for the following year's incoming freshmen. In August of each year, a day is set aside for orientation and formal registration of all freshman students. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors register by mail. Parent(s) are asked to arrange a payment schedule and make initial fees and tuition payments.
