Our College of the Week is LUTHER COLLEGE,

Located in Decorah, IA - 2 hours north of Dubuque on Hwy 52. It is home to nearly 2,400 students from 65 countries and over 40 states. While it might be hard to think of leaving Dubuque, Decorah is consistently recognized as one of the "best places to live" in the US! Check out our bulletin board outside of the cafeteria or plan to visit with the Luther College representative in the school counseling office on Wednesday!

Better yet, we have at least one teacher who has graduated from Luther College - do you know who it is?? Ask your teachers about where they went to school and their experiences - they are a great source of information!
