Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran School & Child Care

Ram Road to Success!

Gifts to The Ram Road to Success Annual Fund are for revenue beyond tuition. Being an independent school means that we are a nonprofit organization operating without financial support from local or federal taxes.

Shepherd of the Hills relies on tuition and The Ram Road to Success & Big Give Annual Fund income to cover the school’s annual price tag of more than 3 million dollars. 

History and Purpose

At Shepherd of the Hills, our mission is to nurture the whole child—spiritually, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically—within the love and teachings of Christ. Since our founding in 1979, we’ve been committed to providing a safe, high-quality, Christ-centered education. In 2026, we welcomed over 50 new students from infants through 8th grade, a testament to the strength and impact of our ministry. As a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, we continue to invest in both academic excellence and campus safety to serve our growing community.

THE BIG GIVE 2026: ANCHORED in Christ. A+ in Impact.

This year, our Ram Road to Success Annual Fund is ANCHORED in Christ and focused on what makes Shepherd an A+ school: Academics , Athletics, and Arts.

Every gift helps us anchor students in Christ, nurture their God-given gifts, and prepare them to lead, serve, and make a difference in God’s Kingdom. At Shepherd of the Hills we are Anchored in Christ, Community and Excellence.
