At St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic School, it is our mission to be an inclusive Catholic learning community that inspires every student to achieve their full potential through faith and education. We recognize our call to love and serve from our Master teacher Jesus Christ, and we are committed to creating a Catholic learning community under the protection of Mother Mary.
The Catholic Graduate Expectations are our foundation as we strive for academic excellence and the acknowledgement of those who achieve it. We recognize God as the source of all life and actively work to focus on social issues within our local and global communities.
We celebrate the diversity within our community with a collaborative approach to learning, in cooperation with parents, the Catholic faith community, and other organizations that recognize the value of our mission. Within the context of Catholic teaching and Sacramental living, our school community strives to demonstrate respect and reverence for all life, thus nurturing a safe, Christian environment for the entire school community.

| Patron Saint |
| Our patron saint is Luke. He was born at Antioch, Syria. He was a Greek by birth and a physician by profession. Luke was one of the earliest converts to the Faith. Later, he became the companion of Paul on his second and third missionary journeys. He attended Paul during his imprisonment in Caesarea and Rome. Paul refers to him as "the most dear physician" and "fellow laborer." Luke is the author of the third Gospel, written before the year 63. He also wrote the "Acts of the Apostles." Luke is the patron of physicians and surgeons. |

As Catholic educators, we live according to our Father's code and to lead our students, by example, to live the basic truths of the gospel message.
