Saint Luke’s school was dedicated in 1953, staffed by Dominican Sisters from St. Catherine, Kentucky until 1970; the school provided eight grades of spiritual and academic education for the students of the Ogallala parish and community. The Ursuline Sisters of Louisville, Kentucky came in 1972, and the school changed to K though 5 in the early 1980’s. Sister Mary Foley served the school and parish for 23 years. Sister Shirley Ann Simmons served as school principle for 25 years and continues to serve the school and parish as Pastoral Minister. Sister Loretta Krajewski, an alumnus of St. Luke’s School, has served as principle from 2005 to present day. A School Endowment Trust was begun in 1985 to assist the school in its operational costs.
