All College Banquet

The All-College Banquet is a cherished tradition at Luther College High School, dating back to the spring of 1954. What began as an evening of fine dining, toasts, musical entertainment, and skits has evolved into a much-anticipated annual event, held every April or May.

This semi-formal event is a celebration of our school community, where students come together, dressed in their best, to enjoy a memorable evening. The banquet, hosted by our Student Representative Council (SRC), is a no-cost event for students, and while dressing up is encouraged, there’s no need to buy new clothes—girls typically wear a dress or skirt and blouse, while boys opt for a collared shirt and dress pants. For those who have suits, this is the perfect occasion to wear them.

The SRC works hard to create a magical atmosphere, choosing a theme and transforming the Merlis Belsher Heritage Centre into a stunning venue. The evening kicks off with a delicious buffet-style meal prepared by our food services team. A group of dedicated parent volunteers generously contributes their time to serve at the banquet and help with clean-up, adding to the spirit of the event.

The night concludes with entertainment, leaving everyone with wonderful memories of a special evening spent celebrating the Luther community.

Why is it called “All College”?
Since 1927, year-end banquets were held separately for boys and girls. With the addition of a gymnasium in 1953, these dinners were combined and held at the school. Originally called the “Spring Banquet,” the event was renamed the “All-College Banquet” in 1958, a tradition we proudly continue each year.
