Mission Statement

The faculty of Saint Luke the Evangelist School, in collaboration with parents and the parish community is committed to developing the Catholic identity and intellect of each child. This faith-based education prepares students morally and intellectually to meet the challenges of the 21st century by fostering spiritual and academic maturity and by challenging students to integrate Catholic values with their own God-given gifts and talents.

Philosophy

Saint Luke the Evangelist School was founded in 1920. This Roman Catholic elementary school exists primarily to educate children in the practice of their faith and to provide an outstanding academic education.

The faculty and staff of Saint Luke School create an environment that integrates faith into all aspects of the students’ formation by ensuring that Catholic values and practices permeate every facet of school life. Teachers cultivate academic growth by challenging students to attain proficiency in basic skills while developing each child’s God-given ability.
