St. Luke's commitment to educating children goes back to 1833, when the church opened its first parish day school in the parish house. Primary education continued here, on and off, through most of the 19th century. In 1945, after a long hiatus, the present school was established, and now teaches some 200 children (K-8). In 1955, Trinity built the school's current home, a two-story brick building with a playground and a shared parking/play area. When fire ravaged the church and parish hall in 1981, the school building provided much-needed space for parish programs. Throughout this 60-year history, the school's mission has remained steadfast. The school is a close-knit community, where honesty, responsibility, freedom of inquiry, justice, and equity are core values.
The parish and school have developed a strong relationship, with a sense of shared mission and a mutual recognition of the strengths that each brings to the other. Both institutions are convinced that by linking Episcopal ritual to a broad religious context, we can affirm all students in their own religious traditions and spiritual growth.
