Principal's Welcome
As the educational leader of this distinguished school, I welcome you to take a closer look at our story. For over 75 years, St. Luke Catholic School has presented wonderful opportunities for children in a faith-filled community.
With a focus on Faith, Service, Excellence, and Stewardship, we are proud of the educational, spiritual, and extra-curricular programs which help form students into the leaders of tomorrow.
St. Luke Catholic School boasts of a highly qualified and experienced faculty who are dedicated to faith, service, excellence, and stewardship. With a student/teacher ratio of 12:1 our teachers successfully apply a variety of teaching methodologies and are current in educational practices. Technology is integrated into various subjects on a daily basis, and different learning modalities are addressed in every lesson.
We are extremely proud of our St. Luke students who are trained to think critically and solve problems. In the past four years, 100% of our graduates have been accepted to the private or parochial high schools of their choice. On average, 97% of our graduates attend private or parochial high schools. Our alumni successfully integrate the educational and moral values that have been instilled in them at St. Luke Catholic School and carry these values with them to high school, college, and beyond. Currently, our 4th grade teacher and our 7th grade teacher are St. Luke Catholic School Alumni.
Our strong curricular program not only focuses on the foundational skills taught in core subject areas, but we take pride in educating the whole child, both in and out of the classroom. St. Luke students are exposed to the arts through our Theater Program, Meet the Masters Program, and music classes. They strive for physical well-being through our comprehensive physical education program and the CYO sports program. Spanish class is incorporated into our TK-8th grade curriculum. Leadership opportunities offered at our school include Student Council, Safety Patrol, Robotics, and Graphic Design. We have an award winning Robotics Team who placed second at the 2009 Vex World Competition, and has qualified for the World Vex Robotics competition several times. We have earned numerous regional awards. Our Academic Decathlon Team earned 10th place in the Super Quiz in both 2008 and 2009. In 2011, we placed in Current Events and Fine Arts. In 2012, we placed in Current Events and Literature. In 2013, the Decathlon Team won 9th place in the 5 subject area Super Quiz, out of 113 schools. Our students also earned individual medals in the following subjects: Religion, Literature, and Social Studies. In 2014, we placed in Religion and Literature. In 2020, we placed 9th in Literature.
Our Catholic identity permeates the school. From daily prayer to weekly Mass, to community-wide service projects, our students are given opportunities and tools to grow in their faith. Our goal is to teach young people to integrate Christian values into all aspects of life. We provide students with educational and social skills needed to be active, productive members of the church and community. St. Luke students are very happy and well adjusted.
St. Luke Catholic School is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and certified by the Western Catholic Education Association. We operate on an extended year calendar from mid-August to mid-June with traditional breaks throughout the year.
Thank you for your interest in our story and as we look to the future, we encourage your support in forming the leaders of tomorrow.
Blessings,
Ms. Yvette Jefferys
