Northeastern Wisconsin Lutheran High School abbreviated NEWLHS and N.E.W. Lutheran is a Lutheran high school in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This school is part of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. NEW Lutheran has an enrollment of approximately 130 students.
Contents
The school's history dates back to as early as 1975 when two parties had interest in starting a Lutheran high school within Green Bay. A survey was done within the LCMS churches in Brown County that shown the great interest for a school. A meeting was held at Pilgrim Lutheran Church to form a committee that helped establish the school. In 1977 the schools inaugural year had included 34 students. Throughout the next two decades the school had changed its location three times before a building was officially constructed at the cul-de-sac on 1311 South Robinson Avenue in 1993.
Ministry Life
Chapel is held every Tuesday morning at around 9:30AM in either the School's gym or in the commons. It is required for all students to attend chapel if present in the building and to conform to "chapel dress code" during the chapel day. The chapel and sermons are done by either pastors that associate with the school, faculty and staff and once by the Peer Ministry class every school year.
A bible study is held every Thursday morning which are led by both Faculty and the senior class. They are separate groups which speak about various topics.
The school also has a praise band known as "Alethia" which is membered by a selection of students who can sing or play instruments for the band and perform during chapel days.
