St John’s Lutheran School

This Lutheran, Missouri synod school is located in Elgin on Spring Street. They are celebrating 154 years in 2020. This is another Pre-K through 8th grade school. The school started in 1966 as a small wooden building. It housed only one classroom. It has grown by adding a gym and current technology (i.e. Wi-Fi, computers, tablets, etc.).

At one point the school wasn’t used (1874-1876). It was sold. A pastor (in 1876) resurrected the school. There have been several expansions. A major building expansion happened in 1956. This added a lunchroom, shop classrooms and two other classrooms, a library, faculty room, health room, and administrative offices. Kindergarten was started in 1946.

The Cougar is their mascot. The school colors are gold and blue.
