Wisconsin Lutheran High School
Encyclopedia
Wisconsin Lutheran High School, commonly referred to as WLHS or Wisco, is a secondary school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
that was originally part of Lutheran High School (LHS), thus making it is the oldest Lutheran high school in America. Established in 1903, the WLHS half of the school was split from its Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) brethren after arguments between the synods because LCMS wanted to form its own school. Two schools are now in existence because of LHS, WLHS and Milwaukee Lutheran High School
(MLHS). It is owned and operated by various Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod
(WELS) congregations.
Wisconsin Lutheran High School is considered a powerhouse in Division III football for the past 6 years by people who watch high school football. They have won state championships in 2004, 2005, and 2007. They were also runners up in 2003. WLHS also won the Division II basketball state championship for the first time in school history in 2009.
The high school is also known for their cheerleading program. They have won 9 state championships (1996, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2010) and in 2009 made it to Finals at the National High School Cheerleading Competition in Orlando, Florida for the first time in the school's history.
