Long Island Lutheran Middle and High School is a Lutheran college prep school in Brookville, New York. Built on a 32-acre estate, Lutheran Middle & High School has been serving the educational needs of the community since 1960. The co-educational college preparatory program is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and is a member of the New York State Association of Independent Schools.

LuHi is known for its storied basketball program for both boys and girls. In March 2011, the Boys team won the Varsity A NYS Federation Championship and the Girls team won the Varsity Class B NYS Federation Championship. LuHi is the second school in the history of the tournament to win both boys and girls team titles in the same year, Christ The King won both in 2010.

Serving 600 students in grades 6-12, Long Island Lutheran offers a program of academic excellence and Christian distinctiveness within the Lutheran tradition. Students come from more than 50 school districts throughout Long Island.

The school's students take part in many activities with 14 Middle School sports and 17 high school sports. While LuHi is traditionally known for its storied basketball program (winning 6 state titles), their football team has been given recent recognition on News 12 Long Island.[2] It also has 15 middle school clubs and 26 High School clubs.

Service learning is an important part of the LuHi experience. Students participate in many service activities throughout the year including: coat, food and book drives, hosting an annual Christmas Party at Creedmoor, Habitat for Humanity Builds, Nicaragua Servant Trips and our Haiti Meal Packing Event.

Along with being a school, Long Island Lutheran also hosts a Summer Program during the summer months. Offering a wide variety of programs in each 2-week session provides the opportunity for families to customize their needs. Professionals in their specific field direct each LuHi program.
