HISTORY OF BETHLEHEM LUTHERAN SCHOOL

Bethlehem Lutheran School opened its doors in 1940 with the goal of providing an exemplary Lutheran education in keeping with the church’s tradition. While the campus and the teachers have changed since that first class, one thing remains the same; the dedication to preparing children ages 2 through 8th grade to reach their God-given potential.
