Four houses. One pursuit.
Traditionally the house system provided structure within schools, fostering a culture of belonging and purpose. A fundamental component of the house system is the practice of merging students and faculty from a large community into smaller ones. Accountability, ownership, and leadership are promoted in these smaller groups, strengthening relationships across grade levels by encouraging students to interact with a broad range of students, promoting a healthy competitive spirit, and ultimately building a generational school community.
The houses are named for faithful Christian warriors from earlier periods of history. Their stories are encouraging, and their lives of obedience are worth imitating because they pursued Christ wholeheartedly. Students are encouraged to emulate the warrior spirit of their house namesakes who have faithfully gone before them.
Throughout the year, friendly competitions take place through house games and spirit week dress-up days. House members earn points as a house and also individually through academic and athletic pursuits, and the House Cup winner is announced at the end of the year at the House Cup Ceremony.
