History
The original high school, Lutheran High School, opened in 1948. Due to the proposed Innerbelt Freeway, the school decided to split into two separate high schools, Lutheran East and Lutheran West in 1956.
Classes were temporarily held at Park Synagogue until 1959 as the new Mayfield Road building was being constructed. Lutheran East officially opened in 1959, welcoming its first 265 students.[3][4]
