Honor Societies.
At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, we pride ourselves in offering 6 academic Honor Societies to our Upper School Students. Each spring semester the school hosts an induction ceremony for students selected in each society. The nomination and evaluation process is determined by each society's bylaws.
