Academic Excellence in a Christ-Centered Environment
Good Shepherd Lutheran School serves our children in so many wonderful ways. In addition to our bible based faith formation, we provide 100% TEK (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) aligned coursework. A professional staff of certified Christian educators and parental involvement make it possible to carry out our school’s mission. We have partnered with research based publishers, to provide core subject materials in English, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. GSLS supplements our coursework with technology components, by providing our children 1:1 Chromebooks with personalized subscriptions to standards aligned online learning platforms such a IXL, and BrainPOPJr.
When our students aren’t in class, they are attending, Chapel, Positive Action (Character Development), Physical education, Music, Art, or MAST (Math & Science Technology) classes that are built into their weekly schedule. These academic components ensure our children receive a well-rounded education that reinforces spirituality, character development, gross motor development and Fine Arts. Research proves students exposed to these programs have a greater sense of self, and report higher academic performance.

campus safety plan
Security
At Good Shepherd Lutheran School we understand safety & security is of the utmost importance and that prevention goes a long way. This is one of the many reasons we invested in a locked keypad entry and 24 hour surveillance camera system. Research has proven that onsite safety measures provide the following:
-deterrent to unwanted offenses
– Our motion-sensored technology allows us to monitor activity at any given time on our campus and keep eye on the entire campus in real-time.
– keep our students and faculty safe; Surveillance systems help to monitor students, and keep an eye on problematic situations. They can also be helpful in monitoring campus visitors and preventing unauthorized access to the campus.
– Video surveillance systems allow for us to assess the situation more accurately if a situation does occur. Better information leads to faster evacuations and more efficiently securing school grounds. Preventing access, reacting to problems, and improving the reaction time of the authorities adds up to safer schools and happier parents
– Peace of Mind; we want our Parents to feel confident that their children are as safe as possible at school. Teachers, faculty, and students want to feel comfortable and safe when they are on our campus.
By adding video surveillance and keypad entries to our campus safety plan, we want families to know we are providing our campus school with the kind of comprehensive security that makes all of these good things possible.
