State of the School Address – February 3
Join us on Tuesday, February 3 at 6:00 p.m. for our annual State of the School Address, an evening to gather as a community and celebrate all that is happening at St. Luke’s. The night will begin with a brief reception, followed by an update from Head of School Mike Jenkins, along with remarks from alumnus Maddox Garzoria and Student Voice President Andie. Guests will also enjoy an inside look into the work going on in our classrooms, led by students.
We hope you’ll join us for this inspiring evening on the Hilltop. If you are unable to attend the evening session, there will be a quick overview during the Parent Council Coffee that morning at 8:30 a.m. in the Parlor.
8th Grade Chapel Talks
As part of a cherished St. Luke’s tradition, our 8th grade students will step forward during Chapel to share reflections on their time at St. Luke’s—what they’ve learned, the friendships they’ve formed, and the memories they’ll carry with them beyond the Hilltop. These talks offer a meaningful glimpse into their growth and leadership, and we invite our community to attend and help us celebrate our 8th graders as they conclude their journey at St. Luke’s Episcopal School.
