About Us
Preparing Students for a Life of Purpose
Every day, children are learning what matters, how to treat others, what to do when something is difficult, and where to turn for truth.
We believe those lessons deserve the same care and attention as reading, writing, math, and science.
That conviction has shaped St. Mark's Lutheran School since we opened in 1982. Here, God's Word is the foundation and final authority in what we teach. Parents are partners in this sacred work, kept in regular contact with teachers and welcomed into the life of the school.
Our teachers know their students well enough to recognize where they are growing, where they need support, and when they are ready for a greater challenge.
Our Vision
We cultivate leaders who are rooted in faith and guided by Christ. We inspire growth in wisdom, character, and learning, preparing our graduates to serve with strength and grace and lead with purpose.

A Message from Our Principal
Dear Prospective Families,
Welcome to St. Mark's Lutheran School! We are truly honored that you are considering becoming partners with us in your child's educational journey. Joining a new school is an exciting milestone, and we are grateful to welcome you into a community where your family will be known, supported, and loved.
At St. Mark's, we believe every child is uniquely created by God with incredible gifts and purpose. Our mission is to nurture each student's faith, inspire academic excellence through personalized learning, and develop servant leaders who will make a positive impact in the world. More than anything, we want your child to know they are valued—not simply for what they achieve, but for who they are as a child of God.
One of the greatest strengths of St. Mark's is the partnership we build with our families. We know that parents are a child's first and most important teachers, and we look forward to walking alongside you as we encourage your child's spiritual, academic, social, and emotional growth. Together, we can create an environment where your child feels safe to learn, ask questions, discover her passions, and grow in confidence.
As Principal, I want you to know that my door is always open. Whether you have questions, ideas, concerns, or simply want to share your child's successes, I hope you will never hesitate to reach out. Building strong relationships with our families is one of the greatest joys of my role.
Thank you for considering entrusting us with one of God's greatest gifts—your child. We are excited to get to know your family and can't wait to see all that God has planned for your time at St. Mark's.
Welcome from our St. Mark's family. We are so glad you're here!
In Christ,
Megan Deines
