 | “We don’t tell students what they can and can’t accomplish. Instead, we focus on passion and encourage our students to take risks. If they know what they want, we tell them to go for it. Using the knowledge that we have—of both our students and of colleges—we guide them toward achieving their goals.”
— Sonia Bell, Director of College Counseling & English Teacher |

| From the College Counseling Office If you were to ask us, we would have to say that we have the best jobs at St. Luke’s! We spend most of our days talking to students about their dreams, goals, and ambitions. From our roles as teachers, coaches, and advisors, to cheering for our students on stage or on the field, we know each student in and out of the classroom. This makes the overall process more comfortable for our students, and we are able to work with them to find colleges that are great fits and great schools. |
