Racine Lutheran High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Racine Lutheran High School is a small, private high school located in Racine, Wisconsin.
The school was founded in 1944, and has an average enrollment of about 250 students. One of the school's main goals is to mix in teaching of faith into daily school life.
[edit] Academics
Christian education in the Lutheran tradition is tied into daily school life for all students at school. The ratio of student to teacher per class is 14:1. About 90% of graduating students from Lutheran High go on to a four year college.
[edit] Athletics
Racine Lutheran offers a range of sports including volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, cheer leading, football, golf, baseball, boys chearleading, curling, bowling, swimming, dance, computer gaming, book reading, chess, checkers, the local curling squad, the biology team, shomaking, and track. The mascot at Racine Lutheran or R.L.H.S is the Crusader and the school colors are purple and gold. Due to the rather low enrollment of students, sports teams often are low on Athletes, but their football team has made it to the state playoffs the last 10 years straight, and have won two straight conference titles and has won three in the last 4 years. They have only gone to the State Championship once (in 1979) and became runner-up. In 2006 the football was 11-1 and made it to the third round of the playoffs the farthest since the W.I.A.A., and also was ranked 3rd in the state. Unfortunately, because of either coaching or lack of talent, they were unable to win state as their coach had promised. oh, darn. boohoo. For baseball, Lutheran High has a combined team with The Prairie School, because neither school has enough interested students to field a team of their own.
