The governing body of Saxony is a board of regents. This consists of two members from each participating Lutheran congregation. The board of regents appoints an executive board.[1] Saxony Lutheran has four elementary feeder schools, and twenty-four associate Lutheran churches.

The school's facilities can accommodate 300 students, and had 226 students enrolled in the 2014–15 school year. It is a coeducational school that educates in grades 9–12.[2]

History

Saxony Lutheran High School was established in September 1999, holding classes in rented premises. The school bought a 40-acre (16 ha) parcel of land in Fruitland in January 2000, for $3,200,000. The current premises were opened, on that site, in the fall of 2004.[3] In 2009, north-west and north-east wings were added to the building.
