St. Stephens Lutheran School was started in September of 1943 in order to offer a Christian education
to children of the congregation. Over the years, many changes have occurred in curriculum, personnel,
and the physical plant; however, the basic goal remains to offer a quality, well-rounded, Christian
education to the children of the congregation as well as to the children of the Hickory community.
St. Stephens Lutheran School is one of over 2500 Lutheran schools in the United States. Lutheran schools
range from pre-school programs to colleges and seminaries. Many teachers in Lutheran schools, as well as
here at St. Stephens, were trained in colleges operated by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
St. Stephens Lutheran School is operated by St. Stephens Lutheran Church as an educational arm of the congregation.
A Board of Church Directors oversees the policies and personnel of the school.
The Board of Church Directors and the faculity and staff welcome you and your children to St. Stephens Lutheran School.
We are here to work with you in the education of your children and pray God's blessings on our work together.
