The St. Luke’s fall sports programs completed the 10th week of training and games on Friday, Oct. 23, highlighting the amazing work by the school’s athletic department to enable a safe return to play.

The school community has been thrilled to watch student-athletes get back out on the fields to compete against each other and, more recently, other independent schools.

This weekend sees the fourth round of games, with many of the St. Luke's teams pitting their wits against Kingswood Oxford School. Athletic Director Mike West agrees that it has been great to see the Storm return to action: “The discipline and commitment required by our students, coaches, and families has been significant. Sacrifices have been made across all groups in order to afford our teams the opportunity to play interscholastic contests. The energy across our fall teams, especially at our Saturday games, has been phenomenal. I’m grateful to the entire Storm athletic family for stepping up, finding the silver linings, demonstrating resilience, and forging relationships. However, most of all, I’m grateful for all the community building and support at a time when we need it most.”
