Lakeside Lutheran High School

What Lakeside Lutheran High School does

Lakeside Lutheran High School (LLHS) is a private, non-profit Christian secondary school founded in 1958 and operated by a federation of Wisconsin Lutheran churches. It is headquartered at 231 Woodland Beach Road, Lake Mills, Wisconsin, and enrolls students in grades 9-12, drawing from across a roughly 30-mile radius via six bus routes with nearly 40 pickup points. The school markets itself around the core value of 'Christ in Everything' and integrates Lutheran faith instruction across academics, athletics, fine arts, and student life. Approximately 55% of students receive financial assistance either through the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program (WPCP) state voucher or direct school aid, and the school participates in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) through the Capitol North Conference.

The school's technology footprint is a conventional K-12 stack: PowerSchool for grades, attendance, and announcements; Blackbaud Financial Aid Management and Smart Tuition for tuition and financial aid processing; Moodle for learning management; Edlio for the public website and admin portal; and an Edlio/BSN-powered Warrior Store plus an EZ Lakeside Store for merchandise. Every student receives a school-issued Chromebook under the one-to-one program, with devices becoming the student's property at graduation. Ancillary revenue and pipeline products include a 2026 summer camp slate (basketball, wrestling, football, soccer, volleyball, distance running), Junior Warriors youth sports clubs (wrestling, boys and girls basketball, football, softball, baseball), a 2025 Warrior Summer Strength and Conditioning Program, and a Warrior Basketball Tournament. The school is accredited by Cognia.

The revenue model is tuition-driven with public funding as a material supplement. Federated church families pay $8,450 per student for 2026-27 and non-federated families pay $13,450, with payment plans spread over 10 months, multi-child discounts, and a 3% early-pay discount. WPCP vouchers cover full tuition for income-eligible Wisconsin households (≤220% of federal poverty level). Additional revenue comes from summer sports camps ($50-$90 per participant), Junior Warriors youth sports ($80-$220), fundraising events such as the Grand Event Gala, Golf Outing, Giving Tuesday, the Annual Giving Society, and the Luminaries program, and donations from congregations, alumni, and individuals. The go-to-market is relationship-led: the Admissions Director visits K-8 federation schools, pastors refer families, and accepted students receive home visits from homeroom teachers.
