ALL THINGS HOMECOMING 2026


Homecoming Spirit Was in Full Gear!

Our Wildcats raced into Homecoming 2026 with a week full of fun activities, creative dress-up days, and plenty of school spirit! With a Cars-inspired theme, students picked their side - Team McQueen or Team Mater - and enjoyed everything from city vs. country and throwback decades to favorite musicians, sports teams, and St. Luke’s spirit wear.


Both campuses were filled with Wildcat pride all week long. KACHOW!

Homecoming Spirit Was at Every Door!

The Japonica Campus door decorations were truly a sight to see during Homecoming Week! From creative designs to plenty of Wildcat pride, the decorated doors filled the halls with Homecoming spirit and made the week even more fun for our students.

A huge thank you to our amazing parents who dedicated their time, creativity, and talents to making this year’s door decorating the best yet! We appreciate you helping make Homecoming 2026 so memorable for our Wildcats! 

Preschool Wildcats Get Game-Day Ready!

Our preschool Wildcats enjoyed Homecoming festivities with a spirited pep rally, representing their favorite college, professional, and, of course, their favorite team.... St. Luke’s! Jerseys, team colors, hats, and fan gear filled the gym as our youngest Wildcats got ready for Homecoming.

No matter whom you cheer for on game day, during Homecoming we’re all Team Wildcat!

Celebrating Our 2026 Homecoming Court

What a special night celebrating the young women selected by their classmates to represent St. Luke’s on the 2026 Homecoming Court! Congratulations to Reese Browning, who was crowned 2026 Homecoming Queen by 2025 Homecoming Queen Evelyn Cummings.

We are proud of our entire Homecoming Court and thank Lexie Romano, Erinne Lang, Abby K. Ott, Natalie Hill, Khushi Mulamalla, Kenlee Hamilton, Sofia Tsatsanis, Addison Davis, Reese Browning, Macey Brown, and Savannah Haynes for representing St. Luke’s with Wildcat pride!

Homecoming 2026 was a Wildcat Win!

After a week filled with school spirit, traditions, celebrations, and plenty of Wildcat pride, the St. Luke’s Wildcats capped off Homecoming with a victory over the Bayshore Christian Eagles!

Thank you to our students, families, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends who helped make Homecoming Week so special.

Congratulations on the WIN, Wildcats!

Dancing in the Moonlight

Homecoming Week ended on a high note as our 9th-12th grade students danced the night away at the beautiful Renaissance Mobile Riverview Plaza Hotel! From great music and dancing to time spent with friends, it was the perfect grand finale to an unforgettable Homecoming 2026!

A SHOUT-OUT FOR MAKING GREAT CHOICES

We love celebrating our Wildcats for doing great things on the Japonica Campus!

Students who are spotted making good choices, showing kindness, demonstrating respect, or going out of their way to help a student or adult may earn a special Wildcat Shout-Out!

During Chapel, Mrs. Wallace recognizes these students and gives each one a Shout-Out card to take home and proudly share with their families.

It’s one more way we can celebrate the everyday choices that make our school community such a special place. Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness and character can make the BIGGEST difference!

Keep it up, Wildcats - you never know when YOU might earn the next Shout-Out!

ZACHARY ROBINSON EARNS WILD CARD SPOT

AT BROOKS XC REGIONALS

Congratulations to Zachary Robinson, who has been selected by Fleet Feet as a Wild Card entry to the 2026 Brooks XC Regional Championships this November!

Fleet Feet received nominations from coaches throughout the Mobile, Pensacola, and D’Iberville areas, selecting just one male athlete to receive the Wild Card. The selection went beyond performance on the course, recognizing an athlete who demonstrates standout potential, competitive success, a strong presence within the local running community, and the energy and character that make him

someone to watch.

A Fleet Feet representative visited St. Luke’s to personally recognize Zachary and spent time with our Cross Country team working on proper running form and drills. The team even put their strength to the test with a fun plank competition!

We are incredibly proud to see Zachary recognized for both his accomplishments as a runner and the character and energy he brings to our team and running community.

Congratulations, Zachary! We can’t wait to see you represent St. Luke’s at Brooks XC Regionals!

OWEN THOMPSON NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to St. Luke’s offensive lineman Owen Thompson, who was recognized by the Crichton Optimist Club of Mobile as a 2026 Week Five Player of the Week!

We are proud to see Owen’s hard work and performance on the field recognized in our community. Congratulations, Owen! GO WILDCATS!
