Evansville Lutheran School was founded in 1971, as Evansville's first parochial Lutheran school. The school is based on the ideas and concepts of Martin Luther. Originally the school was divided into two sections: the Early Childhood Campus "ECC", holding K-4 and the Middle Upper Grade Campus "MUG", holding 5–8.
Today the school holds all 189 students in their original "ECC" campus, located on Virginia St. The school was created by three LCMS churches including, St. Paul's Lutheran Church (LCMS), Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer, and Trinity Lutheran Church. The school is in basketball LIT tournaments and is known for its excellent music program. The school teaches students to honor God in the terms of Martin Luther.
As for sports, the school offers basketball, cheerleading, soccer and volleyball. The school has also developed a program for younger children who are interested in learning basketball, called the Lutheran Developmental League, teaching children in grades K-4 the sport of basketball.
The school colors are purple and gold, which represents royalty and their mascot is a ruling monarch.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
