History

Owned by a coalition of Lutheran churches in the Salt Lake City area, the school was founded in 1984. Originally housed in St. John's Lutheran Church in Salt Lake City's Liberty Park neighborhood,[1] the school acquired its own site on South 900 East in 1993.[2] For the floor of its new gymnasium, the school acquired the former basketball court of the old Salt Palace arena, which was being demolished and replaced.[3]

In 2011 the school moved to a 56,000 square foot, 10 acre facility in Riverton and changed its name to Concordia Preparatory School.[4] [5] The school closed on June 30, 2013.[6]

Sports
