About MLHS
Mayer Lutheran High School is committed to
providing a foundation of Christian education,
and students of all denominations are
welcome.
Faculty members are dedicated individuals,
committed to Christian education, in addition
to providing a rigorous academic experience
for students. They act as friends, advisors,
coaches, and mentors to students who
commute from 52 surrounding communities
(distances up to 30 miles), including Dassel,
Shakopee, Buffalo, and Wayzata.
Busing is available from many locations,
including the Waconia, Chaska, Watertown,
Excelsior, and Howard Lake areas. Assistance
with car-pool arrangements is also provided.
The curriculum is designed for all levels of
learning, and the student/faculty ratio is 14:1.
Students have continuous opportunities for
individual help and attention, and more than
90 percent of the graduates continue their
education beyond high school.
Post-secondary opportunities, independent
studies, and individual programs allow each
student to build a challenging schedule to
fi t his or her individual interests and strengths.
Technology opportunities challenge students
to stay current and knowledgeable in an ever-
changing world.
