A Message from the Director
This year Faith Celebrates the tenth anniversary of
our "new campus" in
Summerlin. In our ten years
here we have made remarkable progress
adding a gymnasium, a student center and new baseball, softball and
football fields. Construction of the chapel/performing arts center is
underway with completion expected in time for the start of the 2008-09
school year.
Yet no matter how excited we get about our growing facilities, what is
most important at Faith is not new. What is most important has been in
evidence at the school throughout its 29 year history on four different
campuses and has resonated through two millennia: God loved the world so much that He sent His Son Jesus to redeem us from our sin. That core message is present in everything we do, whether in the classroom, stage, field, gym or concert hall.
We believe a Christian education is by nature a quality education. Our high school sends 90% of its graduates on to college. And while we could choose otherwise, our students take the Nevada High School proficiency tests prior to graduation. Our students have a 99% pass rate on those tests. Sixty-six percent of the class of 2006 qualified for Nevada’s Millennium Scholarship. Our middle school students generally perform in the 70th percentile or better on Stanford Achievement tests. The innovative scheduling we use provides students with the opportunities to take more classes and at the same time provides our older students with more flexibility
Our students are involved. Faith has a long tradition of excellence in the fine arts, particularly in music. Three bands, two hand bell choirs and two vocal choirs offer students choices that suit their abilities. Our drama program mounts four productions a year. For those athletically inclined, students can participate in wide variety of sports. Middle school students participate in the Red Rock Athletic Conference and last year our boys' basketball team captured the national Lutheran grade school championship.. Our high school competes at the III A and has more than 23 state titles in school history. We are the defending state champions in boys basketball, baseball and golf.
Is Faith the right place for your student? Please join us for one of our open houses or call the school to arrange a tour. Your student is welcome to spend the day with us to get a taste of what life is like at the school. Choosing a school for their children is one of the most important decisions a parent will make. I hope you will see that our commitment to Christian values, our dedication to academic excellence, and our desire to help your students become well-rounded citizens make Faith Lutheran a great choice.
In His Service,
Kevin Dunning
