June 15, 2025 - Summer Edition
We often say that our students may leave for the summer, but their experience is never forgotten. Every day, our team is working diligently to enhance the learning environment and strengthen the St. Luke’s experience. The hallways may be a bit quieter without all of our students, however, there's little evidence that we have slowed down on the Hilltop!
Our Parish Hall renovation project is well underway, including the much-needed transformation of the downstairs bathrooms. In our Middle School building, some exciting projects are also taking shape—we’re keeping a few surprises under wraps and can’t wait to unveil them to our students in August!
Meanwhile, our teachers are hard at work—not just learning, but leading. From early childhood to English/Language Arts to Spanish, they are collaborating and innovating to launch thoughtful, engaging new initiatives for the 2025–2026 school year. Their commitment is a testament to the heart of our mission: ensuring each student is loved, known, and challenged.
And don’t forget—Summer on the Hilltop is in full swing! This year, we’ve added academic readiness classes to help students launch into the new school year with confidence. These courses will be held during the last week of July and are open for registration on our website under the “Summer on the Hilltop” section.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm—big things are happening, and we can’t wait to share them with you soon!
Warmly,
Mike Jenkins,
Head of School
