Parent Engagement
Dear OLu Parents,
You are a very important part of the Lancer Family, and we want to help you stay connected - with the school, our leadership and faculty, and one another.
As former OLu parents ourselves, we've walked in your shoes and understand the excitement, questions, and milestones that come with the high school journey here – as well as the lasting friendships you can build with fellow parents along the way.
Whether you have a question, are looking for events to attend, or want to explore volunteer opportunities, we're here to help. You'll find many ways to connect below, and you're always welcome to reach out to us at parents@lhsoc.org. We look forward to getting to know you throughout your family's experience at Orange Lutheran.
God's blessings!
