WELCOME to KML
 

Our Mission: Empowered by God’s Word, Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School educates, encourages, and equips God’s people for life and for eternity.

Located just east of Jackson, Wisconsin, in rapidly growing Washington County, our Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School’s eighty acre campus testifies to the beauty of God’s creation and includes an outdoor environmental education area, a revolutionary wetland wastewater treatment system, and athletic fields galore.

Nearly 400 students and thirty teachers interact with each other on our campus on a daily basis. With God’s Word as found in the Bible as our source for guidance and direction, we are grateful for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to educate students for life and for eternity. Providing teenagers with quality, Christ-centered secondary education is an exciting and dynamic opportunity for parents, students, and teachers!

Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School’s comprehensive curriculum provides graduates with every thing needed to pursue post-secondary plans at the college, university, or technical college of their choice. Additionally, our graduates are ready to enter the military or the work world after their years at KMLHS.  Supporting our curriculum is a diverse offering of student activities in band, choir, athletics, drama, and service organizations. These co-curricular activities provide our students with the opportunity to develop a wide variety of gifts.

It is rewarding to watch the graduates of our school grow their gifts as they are molded into Christian adults who serve faithfully in their work place, congregation, and community. We are grateful to the Lord for seeing him at work in so many of our graduates!

Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School is a member of the Wisconsin Council of Religions and Independent School and has been accredited by the Wisconsin Religious and Independent Schools Accreditation Association. We are also affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, the Evangelical Lutheran Synod and the Association of Lutheran High Schools.
