Saxony Lutheran High School is a private, Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod high school located in Jackson, Missouri, United States.
The governing body of Saxony is a board of regents. This consists of two members from each participating Lutheran congregation. The board of regents appoints an executive board.[1] Saxony Lutheran has four elementary feeder schools, and twenty-four associate Lutheran churches.
The school's facilities can accommodate 300 students, and had 226 students enrolled in the 2014–15 school year. It is a coeducational school that educates in grades 9–12.[2]
Saxony Lutheran High School was established in September 1999, holding classes in rented premises. The school bought a 40abbr=NaNabbr= parcel of land in Fruitland in January 2000, for $320,000. The current premises were opened, on that site, in the fall of 2004.[3] In 2009, north-west and north-east wings were added to the building.
