Tuition for registered, supporting members of St. Luke’s 2024-2025 school year is listed below. If the student is from another Catholic parish without a catholic school, the family will pay the“parishioner” rate and their sponsoring parish will subsidize the remainder. For non-parishioners, the parishioners of St. Luke's will cover the remainder of the cost as part of our hospitality ministry.

Tuition includes textbook and technology fees. Tuition is evaluated annually.

The tuition partially covers the total expense. The school board, administration and finance council work diligently to keep expenses at a minimum. In order to meet the financial obligations of the parish it is imperative for families to stay current on their tithing contributions.It is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to tithe to their Church and support the school development and fundraising activities as both the parish and school are investing in the Catholic education of your child.
