Giving at St. Luke's
Senior Gift
The Senior Gift is a St. Luke's tradition that provides a meaningful way for parents of the graduating class to join together to honor their graduating seniors with a unique and valuable legacy gift to the School. We are incredibly grateful to the senior parents of past classes for the generous gifts that have established endowments, contributed to program growth, and provided funding for new facilities—each gift benefiting future generations of St. Luke’s students.
