House Intramural System

Student Government That Promotes Unity

All students in grades 7-12 are inducted into a house when they enter the school. They remain in this house until they graduate. This classical system of intramural activity began in boarding schools, and provides excellent leadership and camaraderie across grades. Juniors and seniors lead and mentor underclassmen in a spirit of kinship.  We believe these upper classmen engage in a broader and more realistic form of student government than class-based student government  because their responsibility stretches across a broader constituent base– the entire 7-12 population.

Our houses are named after great pre-revolutionary Americans: George Whitefield, William Bradford, William Tennent, and John Winthrop.

Students meet at lunch and practice. Students can choose from many activities including:

• Flag football
• Soccer
• Basketball
• Handball
• Track
• Badminton
• Academic Bowl
• Service projects
