School Notes
- What helps students grow-and thrive?
- Historically, schools existed to give students a basic education: math, reading, writing, science, and history. The fine arts were added, as well as extracurriculars like athletics and clubs. In more recent years, high schools developed into college-preparatory institutions.
- But at Evergreen we have known that academics and extracurriculars are not enough. Our students need to grow socially, emotionally, and spiritually, too. They need to be challenged and supported individually, with care and concern for their unique needs and gifts.
- Evergreen Lutheran High School exists to help each student thrive in ways that go beyond traditional academics by providing a Christian foundation, uncommon connection, and an Evergreen mindset.
- Christ-centered. Growth-minded.
- A Christian Foundation. Evergreen's mission is to help students build a Christian foundation for life. This mission is shared by all faculty and staff members, who connect students to God's grace and truth dailyin classes and in the hallways, on the basketball court and in chapel. When students have a strong Christian foundation, they experience enduring peace, joy, strength, and direction.
- Uncommon Connection. Evergreen is a place of uncommon connection. With opportunities to participate in athletics, the arts, student leadership, and more, students find their niche and form strong friendships. Students thrive because they receive individual support from teachers and administrators, who also build strong partnerships with their families in Evergreen's small school environment.
- An Evergreen Mindset. The Evergreen Mindset is an educational philosophy, four principles that guide how ELHS approaches education. Oneeach student is unique, with individual talents and abilities. Twochallenges are embraced as springboards for learning. Threeall students need support to grow. Fourlife-long transformation is possible through God's grace and truth.
