 Walther Lutheran High School Family Handbook
Admissions Policy
Walther Lutheran High School is operated for the purpose of providing Christian Education at the
secondary level for the families of Lutheran congregations. However, it admits students of any race, color,
national and ethnic origin, and religion to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally
accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national and ethnic origin and religion in administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan
programs, and athletic and other school administered programs.
Walther may not be able to serve students with special needs and therefore may refuse admission. Students
may be admitted under a probationary status, which will allow Walther to closely monitor the student's
progress.
