History
In March 1979 the Northland Lutheran High School formed an association and called John Schultz as the first Administrator and two teachers. Freshman and sophomore classes were established, and that September Northland began. The first school site was in Merrill, Wisconsin. It consisted of portable classrooms which at times necessitated the administrator to get on the roof and shovel and oftentimes for the hallways to be shoveled. In spite of the humble start, Northland preached the word and equipped students for eternity.
Crisis came in the form of instability and the uncertainty of a firm direction. To gain strength from a stronger church base, Northland relocated to a temporary facility in Wausau, Wisconsin in 1987. A building owned by St. Mary Catholic Church of Wausau would be their home for many years to come.
On August 22, 1999 Northland dedicated its first permanent facility in Kronenwetter, Wisconsin. Enrollment has ranged from 60-140 students with recent enrollments holding around 60. Students travel on Northland buses daily from Neillsville, Marshfield, Wisconsin Rapids, Stevens Point, Plover, Birnamwood, Tomahawk, Eagle River, Rhinelander, Merrill, Medford, Athens, Marathon, and Wausau area.[2]
