The Lutheran High School Association of Greater Detroit, or simply Lutheran High School Association is an association of several high schools in Greater Detroit. It has a unified standards-based curriculum. Currently its component high schools are Lutheran North, Lutheran Westland, and Lutheran Northwest.

Lutheran High School North opened in 1972 in Rochester, Michigan and soon moved to a new building in Macomb Township, Michigan. It was expanded in 1997. It is home of the Mustangs.
