During the service, faculty and staff prayed for the school year ahead, for our St. Luke’s students and families, and for the teachers, administrators, coaches, and staff members who will teach, guide, encourage, and care for our Wildcats each day.

Faith at the Heart of the St. Luke’s Experience

As an Episcopal school in Mobile, Alabama, faith is an important part of the St. Luke’s experience. Chapel provides opportunities for our school community to come together for prayer, reflection, gratitude, and spiritual growth while reinforcing the values of compassion, service, respect, and love for others.

Beginning the year in chapel also reminds our faculty and staff of the shared purpose behind their work. Whether teaching in the classroom, coaching on the field, supporting the arts, or serving students in countless other ways, every member of the St. Luke’s community plays an important role in helping our students learn, grow, and thrive.

Beginning the Year Together

At St. Luke’s Episcopal School, educating students means caring for the whole child –  academically, spiritually, socially, and personally. Our Back-to-School Chapel reflects that commitment and sets the tone for the year ahead.

There is no better way to begin a new school year than together – grounded in faith, grateful for our St. Luke’s community, and excited for all that lies ahead.

Competing against some of the nation’s most talented student speakers, Evelyn placed among the Top 60 competitors in the United States in Humorous Interpretation, a remarkable achievement at one of the most prestigious speech and debate competitions in the country.

Evelyn’s success reflects the dedication, communication skills, and confidence she developed throughout her time at St. Luke’s.

Kenlee Hamilton, Atli Johnston, and Dylan Driskell were selected to represent St. Luke’s for their demonstrated leadership, service, citizenship, and commitment to making a positive impact on their school and community. The HOBY Leadership Seminar is designed to inspire and develop high school students into confident, ethical leaders prepared to make a difference locally and globally.

Throughout the week-long program, the students joined fellow student leaders from across Alabama in interactive leadership workshops, team-building activities, and small-group discussions. Participants also attended presentations led by accomplished professionals, community leaders, and motivational speakers who shared insights on leadership development, civic engagement, and personal growth.

The students were accompanied by St. Luke’s alumni counselor, Megan McDonough, who served as a facilitator during the seminar. Together, participants explored Hugh O’Brian’s mission of leadership through service and completed community-focused projects that emphasized collaboration, responsibility, and servant leadership.

As a leading college-preparatory school in Mobile, Alabama, St. Luke’s Episcopal School is committed to providing students with opportunities that extend beyond the classroom and to encouraging leadership, character development, and community involvement. Programs such as HOBY help students build the skills and confidence needed to become future leaders in their schools, universities, and communities.

We are proud of Kenlee, Atli, and Dylan for representing St. Luke’s at this outstanding leadership program and look forward to seeing the positive impact they will continue to make throughout their high school careers and beyond.

The Wildcats defeated St. John Paul II 5-0 in Huntsville to secure the first girls’ soccer state championship in school history and further establish St. Luke’s Episcopal School athletics as one of the premier programs among Mobile private schools.

Leading the championship effort was senior standout Kiley Hawarah, who delivered an unforgettable performance on Alabama high school soccer’s biggest stage. Hawarah scored four goals in the state championship match and earned Tournament MVP honors as the Wildcats completed their remarkable season.

With 237 career goals, Hawarah now ranks as the second-leading scorer in Alabama girls soccer history across classifications 1A-7A. The West Georgia signee leaves behind one of the most accomplished careers in Alabama high school soccer history.

The Alabama 4A girls soccer championship victory was years in the making for this senior class (Kiley Hawarah, Presley Jackson, Ally Grace Lowell, Evelyn Cummings, and Emma Trammell). In seventh grade this group set their sights on winning a state title, while elevating the St. Luke’s girls’ soccer program across multiple competitive classifications.

Their journey reflected the continued growth of both the team and St. Luke’s Episcopal School athletics:

• Freshman year: first playoff appearance in program history
• Sophomore year: first Final Four appearance
• Junior year: first appearance in the state championship match
• Senior year: AHSAA Class 4A State Champions

As the program transitioned from the 1A-3A classification into 4A competition, the Wildcats continued to rise among Alabama high school soccer programs. By their senior season, this determined group left no doubt that St. Luke’s girls’ soccer belonged among the state’s elite teams.

After the opening whistle of the championship match, the Wildcats played with confidence, intensity, and purpose, determined to finish the journey they had started four years earlier.

The historic championship not only highlights the success of St. Luke’s girls’ soccer program but also showcases the strength of academics, athletics, leadership, and student opportunities at St. Luke’s Episcopal School.

For the players, coaches, families, and supporters who helped build the program, the championship represents more than a title — it is the culmination of years of perseverance, teamwork, and belief.

And for St. Luke’s Episcopal School, the blue map is now forever part of Wildcat history.
