ST. LUKE'S ANNOUNCES VALEDICTORIAN & SALUTATORIAN 2025

As we approach the end of another inspiring academic year at St. Luke’s, we take a moment to honor two exceptional members of the graduating class: Valedictorian Megan McDonough and Salutatorian Gavin Leege. Their dedication, perseverance, and passion for learning have not only set them apart as leaders but have also left a mark on our school community.

ST. LUKE'S CENTER STAGE SHINES IN

"LEGALLY BLONDE JR. THE MUSICAL"

St. Luke's Center Stage recently captivated audiences with its performances of "Legally Blonde Jr. the Musical," which graced the stage not once but three times over the past weekend. The production was met with rave reviews, leaving attendees in awe of our students' incredible talent.


The performers brought energy and enthusiasm to each performance, showcasing their acting, singing, and dancing skills. The success was due to the performers on stage and the dedicated tech crew working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every aspect of the production was professional. We thank our theater director, Hannah Grace Smith, for her outstanding leadership and dedication to bringing “Legally Blonde Jr. the Musical” to life. Her ability to guide our students, helping them hone their acting, singing, and dancing skills, is a testament to her talent and dedication as an educator.


Thanks to everyone who came out to support the cast and crew. Your support enables our students to thrive and excel in the arts. This production is a testament to what our students can achieve!

SECOND GRADE'S PUBLISHED DREAMS

St. Luke's second graders have become published authors! Each year, Mrs. Champagne and Mrs. Miniard’s classes create a book detailing their aspirations for the future, sharing what they hope to become when they grow up. Once the books are complete, a special gathering is held where students exchange signatures, look through the books together, and enjoy a special treat.

EARTH: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE - EXPLORING EARTH'S NATURAL FEATURES

In exploring Earth’s past, present, and future, fourth-grade students had an interesting lesson to understand the planet's natural features. They learned of various landforms and bodies of water, providing them with a foundational understanding of Earth's physical geography. Students applied this knowledge by identifying natural features on physical maps.


A significant part of the lesson focused on the origins and formation of landforms, mainly through the lens of tectonic plates and plate boundaries. Students explored the dynamic nature of Earth's crust and how the movement of tectonic plates shapes the planet's surface over time. This included a detailed study of different types of plate boundaries—convergent, divergent, and transform.



To bring these concepts to life, students engaged in interactive activities using play dough to model the movement of tectonic plates. By simulating the interactions at plate boundaries, they gained a tangible understanding of the processes that led to the creation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

ST. LUKE'S GIRLS TENNIS TEAM STATE BOUND

Our Girls Tennis Team triumphed in the 1A-3A Sectionals! Their success has earned them a spot at the state competition, which will take place next Monday and Tuesday, April 21st and 22nd, at the Mobile Tennis Center. We hope you will come out and support our Wildcats as they compete at the state level. Let's cheer them on to victory!

ST. LUKE'S TENNIS & BASEBALL TEAMS CELEBRATE SENIOR ATHLETES

The St. Luke's tennis and baseball teams recently held special ceremonies to honor their senior athletes. These dedicated students have contributed greatly to their respective teams throughout their high school careers, demonstrating leadership, perseverance, and team spirit.


We wish them every success as they embark on the next chapters of their lives, carrying forward the lessons and memories forged on the courts and fields of St. Luke's.
