Fifty-nine years later, school choice keeps our school thriving

Lutheran Interparish School sits on Court Street in Williamsburg, teaching preschool through eighth grade to 150 students. It opened its doors August 31, 1967, when four small Lutheran congregations, Trinity in Conroy, St. John's in Homestead, Immanuel in rural Williamsburg, and St. Paul in Williamsburg, decided they could do more for their kids' education together than any one of them could do alone.One of those four, St. John's, had already been running its own schoolhouse since 1889.Fifty-nine years later, the school still carries that history. Teachers here show up at ballgames and 4-H shows. They are invested in their students beyond the school day and that's part of why families drive in from well outside town, some more than half an hour each way.
