One flock, one Shepherd
The school theme for 2008-2009 is
“One flock, one Shepherd,” based on John 10:16:
"I have other sheep that are
not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there
shall be one flock and one shepherd."
We send greetings from the Board of Christian Education and the
faculty and staff of Clarinda Lutheran School. We are happy to have you either for a
first time or continuing as part of our educational ministry and mission here in Southwest
Iowa.
Under the Gospel we will want to do all things to the glory of
God. Please become familiar with our handbook
so that we may live together in happiness and in a spirit of forgiveness and love.
ADMINISTRATION
The Clarinda Lutheran School Association presently has one member
congregation, Saint
Paul Lutheran Church. Saint Paul is affiliated with the Lutheran Church
- Missouri Synod. The school is under the control and supervision of the
congregation of the association, who elect members to serve on the Board of Christian
Education. For the sake of efficiency, the congregation delegates much authority and
responsibility to the Board of Christian Education and the Principal of CLS.
ACCREDITATION
