Concordia High School is a private Lutheran high school in Round Rock, Texas. The school is the only Lutheran high school in the greater Austin area. Concordia High School shares its campus with Grace Christian Center. Due to the religious nature of the school, religion plays a significant role in the education, and the school is also noted for its music program.

According to the school's website,

"Concordia High School is a college prep school that is designed to give students the education they need to be leaders in society. While at school, students will be challenged to grow academically, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Concordia students have opportunity to participate in an excellent sports program, learn in a challenging classroom environment and have access to real-world experiences. Students who meet the academic requirements during their junior and senior year may take Advanced Placement (AP)Courses."


The AP courses offered are: AP English, AP Calculus, AP Economics, AP Physics B, and AP US History. Currently eleven sports are offered: cheer, football, cross country, dance, soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, and track. Extracurricular activities include band, choir, drama, art, literature club, mission trips, Science Olympiad, National Honor Society, Spanish club, yearbook, TAPPS academic competition, student council, and class retreats. Before the start of classes every August, the new freshman class goes to Camp Lodestar to ease the transition from middle to high school. Prom is hosted every year by the Junior class for the Juniors and Seniors to celebrate the end of the school year. [2]

The average ACT score for the top quarter of the previous two classes has been a 29. Students have received over two million dollars in scholarships for college the past four years.
