As Heartland Lutheran High School students participate in athletics, we must make sure as staff, student athletes, and parents that we do everything we can to imitate Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:1-11). This is extremely important to the student and parent as we look to develop our athletic skills to compete, but more importantly as we work toward the development of strong Christian men and women who understand that while we are in this world, we are called to be a part of it, not of it, and we are called to a higher purpose (1 Peter 2:9-12, John 15:19, 1 John 2:15-17). Without exception, the primary expectation for all of Heartland Lutheran High School athletics is in everything you do, do it for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31, Colossians 3:17).
