SCLA's school colors of red and white were chosen in 1958 based on Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."
At St. Croix Lutheran Academy, our activities program goes beyond the games and performances—it’s about shaping well-rounded, mission-minded young adults. Rooted in our school’s dedication to educating the total student, SCLA activities foster growth that’s spiritual, intellectual, and physical. In every competition, rehearsal, and team practice, Crusaders learn to cultivate their talents in a way that brings glory to God.
Our motto, “All for the Glory of God,” is lived out in the dedication and passion students bring to each event. Whether it's striving for a personal best, working together to overcome challenges, or displaying resilience on and off the field, Crusaders are encouraged to lean into their strengths and pursue excellence, not just for themselves, but for a purpose bigger than the score.
Through our programs, your student won’t just find a team or club—they’ll discover a supportive, Christ-centered family. Guided by compassionate coaches and mentors, students have the chance to experience firsthand what it means to lead with humility, celebrate victories with gratitude, and handle setbacks with grace.
