School Houses
Our student body is divided into our FIVE houses. Students contribute points to their Houses through spontaneous deeds of good merit, participation, and spirited competition. Points are awarded individually throughout regular school hours and as a group during organized events.
Students earn points by:
- Participating in faith driven activities, such as singing during mass.
- Good sportsmanship in gym activities and intramural sports.
- Going out of their way to help another student or teacher.
- Being a leader or an exceptional follower.
- Accumulating A.R. points.
THE HOUSES
