Houses
To see your 2013-14 House Leader Candidates.
The Blessed Trinity House System allows us to create smaller
communities within our larger school community.
Students are randomly assigned to one of our eight houses: Aquinas House, Dante House, Goretti House,
Kolbe House, LaSalle House, Seton House, Vianney House, and Xavier House. The
leadership for each of our houses consists of a faculty house director, five faculty/staff
family mentors, two elected senior captains, and one elected representative
from the 9th, 10th, and 11th grades. Our Student Government is comprised of the
elected 40 student leaders from each of our eight houses.
Blessed Trinity instituted the House System during the
2007-2008 school year to help students experience a greater sense of
belonging. Not only are all students
affiliated with a house, but each house is further divided into five families. These smaller groups meet with a family
mentor most Wednesdays for 20 minutes. Within families, students have an
opportunity to interact with a small group of students from all grade levels.
Houses compete for points in several ways: attendance at designated
athletic and fine arts events, having a high percentage of the house earning
honor roll, receiving fewer detentions, completing service hours over and above
the requirement, and taking part in house tournaments and other competitions
throughout the school year. Houses
compete for “House of the Month” and the overall “House of the Year.”
