• KAIROS Small Group Leaders

  Our KAIROS Small Groups gather for devotions, fellowship and prayer at LHSS twice a week. Each group includes students representing all class levels. A LHSS staff member, student leader and student facilitator share the responsibility of leading discussions, fellowship and prayer. Student leaders participate in a training program (retreat) before the start of each school year to develop and improve leadership skills, plan worship and nurture the spiritual strength of our school within society. The use of student leaders in this model is a unique characteristic among other Lutheran high schools in the nation. Sophomores are eligible to apply and be chosen as KAIROS Small Group Facilitators.

• Mock Trial

  Students participate in Mock Trial for various reasons. Some may aspire to careers in law; some may be interested in how a courtroom works; still others may just enjoy debate. Whatever the reason, Lutheran South’s mock trial team has shown growth and success in preparing to argue cases before a judge and has learned a great deal about the law and how it works. Students may participate as part of the after-school team and/or enroll in the Mock Trial course. Only students taking the course receive academic credit.

• National Honor Society

  National Honor Society membership is based on four attributes: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. Members of this group are blessed by the Lord with talents and abilities that are pretty outstanding. But the true idea behind NHS is to use what God gave us in service to others.
  
  

  The Lancer Chapter of the National Honor Society is an active group at Lutheran South. The group sponsors, plans, and carries out three or four service projects per year. In addition, all NHS members serve as tutors to other students at LHSS who may be struggling with a course.
