Enrollment Policies & Procedures

Metro-East Lutheran High School enrolls students in grades 9-12. We desire to serve families who want an academically challenging, Christian secondary education for their children. All incoming students must go through an application process that includes completing an application, submitting appropriate recommendations, and providing proof of past academic performance. The final step of the application process is the completion of a family interview in which the parents and student meet with the Principal. See below for a checklist of steps.
