MISSION STATEMENT

St. Luke Catholic School provides your child a well-rounded academic experience and a strong spiritual formation based on reason, religion, and loving kindness. We believe in the uniqueness of each individual child and strive to provide an environment that allows each child to utilize his or her talents to become good Christians and honest citizens.

VISION STATEMENT

St. Luke Catholic School strives for excellence, focusing on Catholic Identity and academic distinction. We are committed to a diverse student body, where we develop the whole person–mind, body, spirit. We strive to promote the Salesian tradition of a loving environment and a true Christian community where all are welcomed and valued. By partnering with our parents and guardians, we offer students opportunities to make positive life choices for themselves and their community.

PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT
“The families and staff of St. Luke Catholic Elementary School seek to be transformed by the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ. Our Catholic faith and traditions unite us in our love for all that we do and all we serve. We believe in teaching and living the truth.”

We believe that parents and guardians are the primary educators of their children (“Apostolate of the Laity”, 11). Therefore, the staff and community of St. Luke Catholic Elementary School complement and enhance the role of the parents/guardians by teaching as Jesus did, by making faith living and active through the educational formation of its young people (“To Teach as Jesus Did”, 11), and by providing a curriculum that integrates Christian values with a strong academic program.

It is our aim to present Christian values, personal responsibility, and an awareness and respect for human dignity as an integral part of life. Students are led to discover a deep spiritual purpose in life so that they seek to establish both inside and outside of school the Gospel values of love, justice, and peace. We are committed to the education of the whole individual: religious, moral, intellectual, physical, social, psychological, and aesthetic growth of each student.

Our academic program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in a rapidly changing 21st century. Through a rigorous curriculum, students will become self-motivated, critical thinkers, strong communicators, and creative problem solvers.

A deep concern for the welfare of our students guides us in our common goals. “It is not enough to love the students; they must know they are loved.”- St. John Bosco.

We, as educators, administrators, and parents/guardians, recognize the fact that faith is assimilated and nurtured through contact with those who live in a community atmosphere with both a local and global outlook. With the spirit of the Gospel to give us perspective and vision, we strive to foster a loving and supportive environment where each individual is accepted and encouraged to grow.
