The banner waving above the front door to Saint Luke Catholic School says it all - A Catholic Tradition. This school teaches the Catholic faith along with the academics. The school, which opened in September 1962, was financed through donations from the parish. The first teachers were Felician Sisters and parents. They taught grades 1 to 4. Over the years the school grew to include kindergarten to eighth grade students. The Sisters departed. Modernizations have included a computer lab, up-to-date classroom technology and a science lab. Each day begins and ends with prayer.
