The school's history dates back to as early as 1975 when two parties had interest in starting a Lutheran High School within Green Bay. A survey was done within the LCMS churches in Brown County that showed great interest for a school. A meeting was held at Pilgrim Lutheran Church to form a committee that helped establish the school. In 1977, the schools inaugural year included 34 students. Throughout the next two decades, the school had changed its location three times before a building was officially constructed at the cul-de-sac on 1311 South Robinson Avenue in 1993.
