Fall Open House
CHRIST OUR ROCK LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL
An Open House for prospective students is scheduled for Wednesday, November 2. Guided tours
begin at 6:30p.m. with a short presentation beginning at 7:00p.m. That evening families will be able to
visit the school, tour the facilities, and talk with current students, parents, and teachers. Transfer students
and potential freshman are encouraged to attend.
God has blessed us with a great facility, which has allowed us to build upon our success, expand
our programs, and continue to grow.
We know tuition, transportation, and traditions can be seen as obstacles to attending CORLHS,
but our families and students know that these obstacles can be easily overcome. Come to this open house
and give us a chance to answer your questions. If you are not able to make it but want more information,
please call us at 226-3315. We will be more than happy to meet with you at your convenience.
