Living Legacy

Our school has a rich history of Christ-centered education since the late 1930s.

The school of what is present-day Lancaster Mennonite was founded as an alternative to public schools where students could be taught in a Christ-centered environment. This movement led to the founding of Locust Grove Mennonite School in 1939 and New Danville Mennonite School in 1940. The Lancaster Conference of the Mennonite Church took a bit more time to meet a bigger challenge: the development of a Christian high school on the site of the former Yeates School in 1942.

虽然每所门诺派学校最初主要为门诺派学生服务,但来自许多教派的人越来越多地成为学生团体的一部分。每个校园最终都服务于不同的基督徒家庭,他们欣赏以基督为中心的氛围中的优质教育,强调个人信仰和门徒训练。以及与兰开斯特门诺派社区价值观产生共鸣的具有其他信仰背景的家庭。

Although each school was founded independently to meet the challenges of the 20th century, the challenges of the 21st century brought everyone together to be one comprehensive PreK-12 school. Sharing a common mission and values, the schools decided to work together as a system for the common good. New Danville merged with Lancaster in 2001, followed by Locust Grove in 2003. Then in 2022, the New Danville (grades PreK-5th) and Locust Grove (grades PreK-8th) campuses unified with the Lancaster Campus (grades 6-12th) to form a PreK-12th grade school on one campus at 2176 Lincoln Hwy E, Lancaster, PA, and the properties were sold to support a stronger and more sustainable future for every LM student.
