Peace Lutheran Congregation was formally organized on April 1, 1959. Under the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, the congregation has been permitted to "let its light
shine" in this community and to share the Gospel of Christ.

In the spring of 1966, the congregation decided to add a Christian elementary school
to its education program. The formal opening of the school occurred in 1967.
Three building additions have been made to the building since that time.
The Pre-School program was initiated in 1974.

Over the course of time, Peace Lutheran School has been blessed with the following principals: Mr. Gerry Nast (1967-1979), Mr. Ray Hartmann (1979-2000), Mr. Harvey Neumann (2000-2001)and Mr.Warren and Mrs. Karen Priehs (Co-Principals) (2001-2002). There have been 28 teachers employed during these years of operation.

Peace Lutheran School experienced a steady growth during the years of operation.
The school had an enrollment of 34 students in its first year. This coming year
the enrollment is expected to be near 300 students.
