History of the House System at St. Peter
The St. Peter House System was created after our teachers attended the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia, where the House System first originated. Inspired by its success in creating a positive climate and culture, we sought to establish a similar system that would strengthen our Catholic identity while fostering meaningful connections across all grade levels.
Each House includes more than 40 students, with 8th graders serving in leadership roles during activities. Throughout the year, Houses gather to celebrate their faith, grow in leadership, and form lasting friendships.
How the House System Works
Students at St. Peter School are placed into one of the 10 Houses, creating a vibrant mix of Kindergarten through 8th-grade students. Each House is identified by its saint and a unique color, creating a sense of unity and pride.
Monthly House activities bring students together
New to the system are House Key Holders who are student representatives from grades 6–8 who assist in planning activities. Selected through an application and interview process with community leaders, these students play an important role in modeling leadership for their peers.
With more than 425 K–8 students participating, the House System fosters friendships, strengthens Catholic values, and creates unique opportunities for students to grow beyond the classroom.
