Congratulations to Luke Carden, February Sproul Lanes Student of the Month
by Liz Burnett
The February Sproul Lanes Student of the Month is Luke Carden, a Senior at Malvern Prep! Luke received a Certificate of Achievement, and looks forward to enjoying his award: a “Pizza Bowl” party courtesy of Sproul Lanes, our Sponsor of this program.
Luke, a native of Newtown Square, has attended Malvern Prep since 8th grade. His positive orientation experience as a Freshman there motivated him to want to give back. So, as a Junior, he volunteered and was selected by the school’s Adelphia Society to participate in their two-day orientation program for the new Freshman class.
Luke has also served communities in Philadelphia and Camden, by going with his classmates and his school’s service moderator, to provide meals for the homeless and poor in those areas. And he has participated in Malvern Prep’s food drives that help the local food banks replenish their pantries.

A lacrosse player since preschool and a lacrosse travel team player since 5th grade, Luke has enjoyed serving as a member of Malvern Prep’s lacrosse team, including the Varsity team in his Junior and Senior years. As a member of his school’s Athletes for Christ Club, he discussed and then put into action ways athletes can demonstrate their connection to Christ, especially on the sports field.
Luke also enjoys being a member of his school’s Young Politicians Club, which discusses current political events and how political action can accomplish social goals to improve lives.
A recent project to build a 1971 R5 Yamaha motorcycle with a friend from school got Luke interested in a possible career in Mechanical Engineering. He also enjoyed his recent Economics class and may consider a Business Administration major in college.
