History

Lutheran High School, Obot Idim was established in 1950. Rev. John Louis Konz was the first principal of the school. About 500 candidates took the first-ever entrance examination of the school, and only 28 were successful.

The school kicked off with the 28 successful candidates on the premises of Boechler Memorial Primary School.

Few years after its establishment, the school started seeing an increase in the number of applications. And by 1961, the student population had risen to 348. The number of teachers had also increased. That prompted the Lutheran Church of Nigeria to move the school from the Boechler Memorial Primary School to its present location.[4]
