Opening Convocation - Wednesday, August 27th
St. Luke’s Opening Convocation is more than a ceremony, it’s a celebration of our shared purpose and a commitment to the values that define our community. It sets the tone for the year ahead, grounded in our core pillars: scholarship, citizenship, and leadership.
These pillars guide daily life at St. Luke’s, encouraging curiosity, responsibility, and integrity. During Convocation, we reaffirm our dedication to these principles and to each other for our 1st through 8th grade students.
A special highlight is the 8th Grade Pinning Ceremony, honoring our students' growth and their emerging role as leaders of the school.
We invite you to join us for this meaningful event on Wednesday, August 27 at 8 a.m., as we come together in the spirit of #WeAreStLukes.
(No Eucharist. Dress uniform required.)
Warmly,
Mike Jenkins
Head of School
8th Grade Graduation Date Change
We’re proud to honor the incredible journey and accomplishments of our 8th grade class. In recognition of this important milestone, we’re moving 8th Grade Graduation to Wednesday, May 20, 2026, combining it with our Closing Convocation to bring the community together for one meaningful celebration.
The Early Childhood Convocation will take place earlier that morning as usual. A separate school-wide Awards Ceremony will also take place in May.
