 Welcome

The Association of Lutheran Secondary Schools identifies, equips and supports leaders to advance the Christ-centered ministries of Lutheran secondary schools.

There are 90 member Lutheran high schools in The Association of Lutheran Secondary Schools.  The majority of member schools have direct connections to the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), and many have associations that include connections with Evangelical Lutheran Church in American (ELCA) congregations.  Lutheran secondary schools in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Japan make ALSS an international organization.
