The History of Chicago Luther North High School

Chicago (population 2.8 million) is located in northeastern Illinois in eastern Cook County. Lake Michigan, the Chicago and Illinois Rivers, and the Des Plaines River are the main waterways to and from town. Interstates 55, 57, 90, and 94 will all lead you to the “Windy City.” From what started as a small village in the early 1800’s, Chicago has grown to the nation’s third largest city and one of the most famous places in the world.

The following history of Luther North High School was located on the school’s website prior to its closing.

http://luthernorthcollegeprep.org/history/

“For a century Luther High School North has contributed to church and society. In the early 1900’s a group of first and second generation German Lutheran immigrants who had settled in various parts of the metropolitan area combined their resources to establish one of the first Lutheran high schools in the world (preceded only by the Milwaukee Lutheran High School, 1903.) The concept of a group of local congregations pooling their resources to provide an education beyond elementary school was unique and exciting.

Luther High School North originated as Luther Institute, located until the early 1950’s on Woods Street on the west side of Chicago’s Loop. The proud traditions held even today by the graduates of that school evidence the power of the Spirit as many laymen and women, clergy and commissioned teachers trace their roots to Luther Institute. So valued was that tradition, that when the building in which Luther Institute was housed was scheduled for an urban renewal project, the city of Chicago working with congregations wisely planned new locations to accommodate the burgeoning Lutheran community. Of the three emergent Lutheran high schools in the Chicago area, Luther North was the first and largest, opening its doors in 1953.

The present location (5700 West Berteau) of Luther North has served both the north and northwest sides of the Chicago community and also the north and northwest suburban community for over 50 years. Growing with the population, Luther North by the late 1960’s exceeded even the largest years of Luther Institute’s student enrollment. By 1971, Luther High School North (built for 1000 potential students) had grown to almost 1400 students and was the largest Lutheran high school in the world.

The almost 10,000 graduates of Luther North have built a legacy of academic excellence, spiritual growth, and athletic and fine arts achievements.”

The amazing years of positive growth and enrollment at Luther North High School began to decline in the late 1990’s. By the early 2000’s enrollment had dipped to 300 students. By the start of the 2016-17 school year that number had reached 170 students. This decrease in enrollment led to financial distress for the school. It was determined that at the end of the 2016-17 school year that Luther North High School would be closed.

“In 2019 Chicago Public Schools purchased and did a multi-million dollar rehab of the Luther North High School campus and reopened the campus for the 2019-2020 school year as Rickover Naval Academy. Rickover Naval Academy had been open since 2005 but shared the Senn High School campus in the Edgewater neighborhood. Since the move Rickover Naval Academy has grown substantially, quickly becoming one of the biggest military schools in Chicago.

MEMORIES

From Shaun Fleischhacker (dated 8/11/2025):

“I attached an article on a noteworthy athlete from Luther North. Jim Klein was a three-year letterman and two-time All-Conference selection. What is remarkable is that he achieved it having been born with one arm (see attached article)”

NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE

If you have information to share regarding Chicago Luther North High School and its many great years of service, we are hopeful that you will share it with us. Photos of teams and the school building along with the fight song, and many more bits of information would be interesting and fun to share.
