With the help of parents believing the importance of a Christian education, Red Hill Lutheran School was founded in 1961 and began with 14 kindergarten students. Pastor Showalter, the church’s pastor, was the school’s first principal and remained the principal until 1966. The principals that followed him assisted in the contribution of the school’s growth and stability, while using their expertise to hire administration and staff to further the Christian school program in the right direction.

Ground was broken for a six room educational building on May 8, 1960. The building was dedicated on November 13, 1960. Additional buildings were added for administrative offices in the 1970's. In 1971, the school held all grades levels, Pre-School through Grade 8, for the first time.

As noted in the 20 year church anniversary booklet the yearly tradition has been building and entering a float in the Tustin parade each fall. This tradition continues with an entry each year in the Tustin Tiller Days parade.

During the years 2000-2007, our school was led by Mrs. Leslie Smith. Under her direction, the enrollment continued to grow and the facilities took shape with new playground equipment and facility improvements. The school is currently under the direction of Ms. Cindy Jordan.

Red Hill Lutheran continues to grow each year with the 2007-2008 school year student total enrollments of 383. Our history is still in the making as we start our facility New Life Center, with construction beginning in spring of 2008.
