Lutheran High School West, also known as Lutheran West, is a private college-prep co-ed high school and middle school (grades 6-12) in Rocky River, Ohio, United States. Established in 1958, it is affiliated with the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod and serves Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.

History

In 1946, sixteen Lutheran congregations formally met to establish an association and resolved to establish a Lutheran high school in Cleveland, Ohio. The result was the founding of the Cleveland Lutheran High School Association (CLHSA). In 1948, Lutheran West's precursor, Lutheran High School, was built in the east side of Cleveland. In 1958, that school's property was acquired by the state of Ohio for construction of Interstate 90, and the CLHSA decided to build two high schools: Lutheran High School West and Lutheran High School East, located in Cleveland Heights.[4]

In 2022, Lutheran West expanded its grade level offerings to middle school, adding grades 6 through 8.
