Saint Benedict is unique in that we offer a House System. The tradition of school Houses goes back to English boarding schools. The Houses provided a home away from home for the students and a natural source of friendly rivalry and competition.
Our Houses:
Our school is divided into four Houses named after the four Saints surrounding Saint Benedict in the mural found in St. Benedict Church:
Augustine House
Jerome House
Ambrose House
Gregory House
Purpose of our House System:
1) COMMUNITY — The House system will further increase the strong sense of Christian community at St. Benedict. It provides smaller communities that each student will be a part of - a safe and welcoming environment for all students, with built-in service opportunities.
2) LEADERSHIP — The House system will promote building virtue, developing leadership, and providing academic support.
3) SCHOOL SPIRIT — The House system will provide a framework to accommodate friendly competition, encourage school spirit, and increase volunteer efforts.
Each student is assigned to a House upon their enrollment at St. Benedict. The House is led by a Prefect, an eighth grade student selected by their teachers. Houses accumulate points throughout the year in areas of spirituality, academics, community, and activities. We have 4 designated "House Days" throughout the year where the 8th grade helps organize activities that build up school spirit.
