ST. LUKE'S STUDENTS EMBARK ON A THEATRICAL JOURNEY: A DAY AT THE ALABAMA SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

AP English, Center Stage, and Theatre Tech students had a great field trip to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival to watch "Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery." After the show, they had a Q&A with the cast, followed by a private theatre tour! St. Luke's students walked around on the set and saw the backstage area, scene shop, prop shop, costume shop, rehearsal halls, and more! It was amazing to see how a professional company works behind the scenes.

JACOB GRANDQUEST RECEIVES THE JOHN WESLEY HOLT SCHOLARSHIP

Jacob Grandquest was awarded the John Wesley Holt Scholarship. This scholarship was given in John Wesley’s memory (Class of 2021) to a deserving St. Luke’s senior who has shown the same passion and dedication that John Wesley exemplified in all parts of his life: character, academics and athletics. Thank you to the Holt Family for honoring John Wesley by sharing this opportunity with a well-deserving St. Luke’s student. We’re so proud you, Jacob!
