What is Luers Spirit?
It is more than just school pride.
It's the bond which unites us, turning a diverse community of students and alumni into a tight-knit family.
It is the level of excellence toward which we strive in academics, athletics, and arts.
It is the deepest respect we hold for out Catholic faith and education excellence.
it is the intellectual curiosity which inspires us to continue learning, growing, aiming high and moving forward.
It is the little voice inside of us when we walk through the front doors, reminding us who we are.
We are the light of the world!
This is Luers Spirit!
