Hillcrest Lutheran Academy is a private Christian junior high and boarding high school in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Established in 1916, Hillcrest has a strong affiliation with the Church of the Lutheran Brethren of America. Hillcrest is sometimes referred to as HLA or the "Castle on the Hill." Hillcrest's mission is "to provide a quality academic, social and extracurricular experience which challenges students to think critically and examine topics through the lens of God’s Word." Hillcrest holds accreditation as a non-public high school through the Minnesota Nonpublic School Accrediting Association (MNSAA). ==Campus== Hillcrest occupies an historic building constructed in 1901 by the Norwegian Lutheran Synod to house the Park Region Luther College. The four-story red brick and sandstone building, located on a hilltop overlooking the city, is in the Romanesque Revival style and was designed by Twin Cities architects Omeyer and Thori, who also designed educational buildings at St. Olaf College, courthouses in Windom and Ada, and the E.J. Webber house and Ole Hagen's Autograph Block in Fergus Falls. Its construction, supervised by contractor John Lauritzen, required all of the brick masons available in the area. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.〔(Park Region Luther College - 715 W. Vernon Ave. ), City of Fergus Falls website〕 Park Region Luther College operated on the site until 1932, when the synod decided to concentrate its academic efforts on Concordia College in Moorhead. Three years later, the campus was sold to the Church of the Lutheran Brethren, which operates Hillcrest Academy.〔 Hillcrest served as the high school department of Lutheran Brethren Schools from its founding until 2003, when it was incorporated as a separate school directly under the Church of the Lutheran Brethren, with its own president and school board. HLA continues to share the campus with Lutheran Brethren Seminary, the theological training institute of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hillcrest Lutheran Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
