Grace Lutheran School has a Long History of Providing Outstanding Christ-Centered Education
Grace Lutheran School was organized in 1911 under Pastor E. Zucker. School sessions were held in a wing of Grace Lutheran Church until 1916.
In 1948 the Grace Lutheran Church congregation reopened a school beginning with a simple Kindergarten class. The following year, grade 1 was added, then grade 2 the year after that.
The current school building was built in 1951 and dedicated in 1952. A large addition was added in 1977, including the current gym.
In 2004, the Red River Lutheran School Association was formed to own and operate Grace Lutheran School. Six local Lutheran churches are part of the Association: Grace Lutheran Church, St Andrew Lutheran Church, Immanuel Lutheran Church, Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church, Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, and Trinity Lutheran Church.
Grace is a member of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod and part of the largest protestant school system in the United States.
