History

"It's coming alive in '55!" was the slogan for the opening of Denver Lutheran High School. It was as exciting moment for Lutheran Christians in Denver!

At a time when there were only eight Lutheran high schools in the nation, a mission-minded group at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church boldly stepped forward to make the dream of a Lutheran high school in Denver a reality.

Without land or a school building, the first principal, Norman H. Brinkman, came to Denver and the school "came alive" on a ten-acre farm on West Arizona Avenue. Some of the first classes were held in a small barn. The white house, which is still on campus today, was the school library and housed two classrooms. Students even had classes in a former "chicken coop." Enrollment on opening day was 77 students in grades 9 and 10 and tuition was $15 a month.

Over the past four decades there have been numerous changes. Denver Lutheran High School has been blessed with students, strong leadership, first-rate faculty, building additions, athletic championships, and national awards for academic excellence.

At Denver Lutheran High School, we thank God for our students and how they use the gifts God has given them in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, and on the court. We thank God for the parents who are committed to Christian education and are willing to prioritize that for their children. We thank God for faculty who are committed to the Lord and have strong foundations in their academic areas.
