About CLS

Mr. Doyle, Principal

Did you know that if you’re breathing, you should be praising the Lord? If you’re reading this, then you’ve already confirmed—you’re breathing! And that means it’s time to give thanks to the Lord for something, anything! Take a moment to reflect on your life: your family and friends, your workplace or school, memorable experiences, travels near or far—surely, there’s something you can lift up in praise to God. Every blessing that comes to mind is from Him. No question about it!

Psalm 150:6 says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” This verse will guide us as the theme for the 2025–2026 school year. Alongside it, we’ve chosen the song “Praise” by Elevation Worship to remind us throughout the year of God’s constant goodness and our calling to respond with gratitude.

This year I am challenging every student, parent, faculty, and staff member to think of one thing each week that God has provided—or a way He has blessed you—and give Him praise.

I’ve personally started keeping a praise journal. Each evening, I take a moment to reflect—not on the day's conflicts or missed opportunities—but on the goodness of God and the blessings He’s poured into my life. For example, as I write this, I’m deeply thankful that all four of our children had the opportunity to attend CLS and receive a strong foundation in both faith and academics.

Thank you for trusting our faculty and staff to educate, mentor, coach, uplift, and guide your children. More than anything, thank you for allowing us to share the good news of Jesus with them every single day. It is our calling and joy to stand firm in our biblical beliefs and to make sure every student—from preschool through eighth grade—knows they are deeply loved.

Let’s make this a year of praise—because if we have breath, we have a reason!

In Christ, Jon Doyle- Principal

"Our family has been at CLS for 15 years. Both of my kids attended K-8 and some preschool. We also joined the church family. This place is a union of school and church like no other. The education and faith foundation my kids received has set them up for their future. The school environment is loving, safe, and welcoming. Everyone knows each other. Pastor Jeff and Principal Doyle are leaders of this loving community. That is the key - your children are loved at this place! "

"Our family has been at CLS since 2013. We feel such an immense gratitude to the Lord for blessing our family with the amazing experience we have all had at CLS. For eleven years now our kids have felt loved by the staff at CLS like the Children of God they are. They have received an incredible education. All of the staff has been supportive of the kids and collaborative with us as parents. The CLS parents are interconnected with each other, as well as the faculty and staff as a big community all invested in what’s best for kids both on and off campus. We could not be more thankful and feel so blessed for our girls and our family as a whole to be a part of the amazing CLS family!"

"For the past 15 years we have had the pleasure of having our two children attend Christ Lutheran School. I cannot begin to describe the loving Christian environment that we have experienced since 2009. There was never a time that we felt that our children were not loved and safe at CLS. The CLS community including the amazing staff, faculty and families have become part of our extended family. The Christian values provided a sound foundation in their young lives and provided a strong framework for their life decisions. The educational aspect of CLS is top notch having prepared our children for the next chapter in their educational journey. As a result, our son thrived in high school and is on the Dean’s list as a freshman in college. Having just attended the graduation of our daughter, the tears of joy from the faculty were real and authentic and demonstrate the love that they have for our children. The CLS journey has been amazing, and it will always hold a special place in the hearts of our family."

"Our daughters attended CLS kindergarten through 8th grade. Their elementary and middle school years provided high academic standards, combined with a service to help others. Beyond the classroom, they were taught communication skills, leadership qualities, good sportsmanship, time management, and how to be good stewards of faith. There was never a day they did not feel safe at school, and we found their teachers were firm, fair, trustworthy, and loving. Our investment in CLS has had a far greater payout than just being prepared for high school because their faith is priceless."

"With several choices available for families these days, we are incredibly happy with our choice to send our children to Christ Lutheran School. CLS has been a community of support and growth for us and our children for the last several years. It has offered support in their academic and spiritual growth while always remaining a place where our children feel safe and happy. It is a place where there is a community of people who are wanting your child to succeed and grow, while giving them tools to navigate inevitable adversity. We are very thankful for the school and the staff at Christ Lutheran."
