Each fall we look forward to welcoming grandparents to campus; it has become one of the highlights of our year!

Grandparents Day is scheduled for Friday, September 22.

GPL Day

Please join us in supporting the ministry of Great Plains Lutheran High School on Sunday, September 24. You will be presented with a brief explanation of the ministry of GPLHS.
