OUR HIstory
Connected to our past
In 1872, just four years after the first Lutheran families moved into the district, the Emmaus Congregation built a Lutheran Church and school at Emmaus, near Eudunda. This congregation later moved into Eudunda where the present school was established in 1904.
A series of additions and extensions have taken place over the years. When the new hall was built in 1995 the previous hall was changed into a library and classroom, renovations changed the front entrance and office area and a new administration area was built.
