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 principal’s 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.

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.
