Pioneering techniques and methods to inspire, challenge, and enable each child to achieve personal excellence
DISCIPLINE
Our Mission Statement shares our goals as we serve the young people who are enrolled at North Lutheran High School. Each student is a unique child of God, we intend to provide each of them an opportunity to develop individual gifts as children of God. We also strive to help them become disciples of Christ by growing intellectually, socially, spiritually, culturally, and physically while at North Lutheran High.
We operate on the premise that it is a privilege for us to teach and train the children of God in our care and that it is equally a privilege for students to attend our school. In order for this educational experience to be most effective, teachers must provide instruction and discipline in a positive, fair, caring, and loving environment and students must receive that instruction and discipline in a willing and cooperative manner. An important part of the educational experience is learning the skills necessary to live in a community of people. Among those skills are learning self-discipline, positive interaction with others, and cooperation and sacrifice for the good of the community.
We realize that we live in an imperfect world and the community of North Lutheran High School is no different. We also recognize that we live under the forgiveness and the love of Jesus Christ. It is through that relationship that our instruction, discipline, and respect for one another is established and strengthened.
Discipline is a part of the discipling process whereby we use God's tools of instruction and correction to help us grow and mature as disciples. The staff of Lutheran High School strives to enable that to happen by communicating effectively so the students have an understanding of acceptable practices and behavior, resulting consequences (good and bad), and God's process of change for our lives. We also strive to shepherd our students by providing a consistent environment and constant reinforcement and reminders. Finally, we also seek to provide correction through fair consequences and adequate follow-up.
