Cosmetology class is at it again! Follow along to join us on our journey through the decades . While Grease was released in the 1970s, it was actually set in the 1950s! We think this hairdo inspired by Sandy is perfect ! Up Next… the 60’s! #hair #cosmetology #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind

“God brings men into deep waters not to drown them, but to cleanse them.” John H. Aughey St.Luke’s staff and students would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to one of our students and his family. Jack and his 3 siblings, along with their parents, celebrated the Holy Sacrament of Baptism this past weekend. This public confession of faith is a beautiful thing to witness and a powerful, transformative experience. We pray for many blessings for Jack and his entire family as they take this sacred step in their faith journey. Congratulations!! “Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.’” - Luke 3:21-22 #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #faithhopeandlove #baptism #holysacrament #blessings #congratulations

Sometimes we need to take a break from Math to take a selfie! Selah and Jade are “awesome kids” according to Mrs. Woehleke! Math can be hard, but when we tackle it together, it can also be fun! Not as fun as taking selfies in class, but fun! 🫶🏻 #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #math #selfietime

Fun Fact Friday… Did you know St. Luke’s celebrates graduation? 👨🏼‍🎓 👩🏻‍🎓We do! One of the first questions we get asked when new students enrol here is, “Do you have a “real” grad?” The answer is yes, and it is beautiful! Graduates from all three campuses gather in Okotoks at Saint James Church, ⛪️ where we celebrate each student and their unique gifts as they walk the stage! It is a day dedicated to honouring all the obstacles they have overcome to achieve this important milestone! Last year we had over 60 graduates!! There is a professional photographer, 📷 caps, 🎓gowns 👨‍🎓 and an optional dinner 🍽️ to follow! St. Luke’s graduation is an emotional day filled with celebration and joy! 🥳🫶🏻💖 Check out our highlights for a few photos from past graduation celebrations! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #hope #graduation #celebration #okotoks #brooksalberta #highriveralberta #alternativeeducation #traditionalgraduation

Students come here for live instruction classes and we offer support for students that choose to take online courses! We offer all ranges of core classes and a variety of options! We are blessed to work and study in such a supportive environment! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #highriver #campustour

It’s Fun Fact Friday again!!

Our High River campus had the honour and privilege of spending some time at Saint Francis DeSales parish with the beloved Fr. Marius! We learned some history, and heard personal stories as we toured church! Fr. Marius is candid and welcoming and he is such a gift to our community!!! Our students learned about the relic in the altar, the reason for each sacrament and some lesser known details about the elements of the church! They also got a glimpse into life in the parish! We are so blessed! #lifeatstlukes #leavenotoneheartbehind #lent #church #learning #grateful #blessed
