DISTINCT EXTRACURRICULAR FEATURES
What makes Luther College High School’s extracurriculars distinct: established strengths and current initiatives
The Luther Invitational Tournament (LIT) is the longest running high school tournament in Canada. It began in 1953 on the initiative of John Chomay, the senior boys basketball coach and athletic director. LIT is a student-run tournament, lasting three days in February. This annual tournament is one of Luther's most well-known athletic initiatives and cherished traditions. This prestigious tournament is highly regarded for promoting sportsmanship, respect, hospitality and high-level competition. In 2016, LIT was inducted into the Regina Sports Hall of Fame. Teams from across western Canada are invited to participate each year.
The Candlelight Services are a musical celebration of Advent composed of lessons and carols presented by the choristers and instrumentalists of Luther College High School. This tradition became an annual event in the life of the College after its relocation to Regina in 1926. The Candlelight Services are a cherished tradition in the life of Luther College and in the lives of many in the community. It remains an outgrowth of Christian conviction and an expression of Luther’s rich musical heritage.
Luther College High School has a long-standing tradition of presenting a popular Broadway musical every year.
Typically, the musical runs near the end of October with evening performances and a Sunday matinée. Getting the annual musical ready for the stage takes a lot of work and involves over 150 Luther students either in the cast, orchestra or in the many crews that include makeup, costumes, admissions, lighting, sound and stage crew. The musical provides students with new artistic experiences and opportunities in a creative and fun setting.
