The seeds for the creation of Northeastern Wisconsin Lutheran High School were sown during the summer of 1975 when two interested parties were moved to determine the feasibility of starting a Lutheran high school in the Green Bay area.  They conducted a survey which revealed sufficient interest in Lutheran secondary education to warrant proceeding.  Out of a meeting at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, a steering committee was formed, and NEWLHS was on its way to becoming a reality.  In 1977, the school started out with 34 students while located at Pilgrim Lutheran School.  The school changed locations three other times before settling in at its current location in 1993.
