House Program

Welcome to the House of St. Francis! 

The House of St. Francis is named in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment, which is why we wear the color green. St. Francis is a beloved saint who left behind a wealthy and comfortable life to follow God’s call and devote his life to rebuilding the worldwide Church. Members of our House seek to follow our saint’s example by keeping our hearts open to God’s call in our own lives every day. St. Francis, pray for us!

House Motto

“A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows.” -St. Francis

Our 25-26 Captains

Alejandro - House Captain

My favorite thing about House is how we compete against others, but as Catholics, we compete with great sportsmanship. I wanted to be a captain because I have had other friends who have been captains, and they told me that being a captain is awesome. I also know I can help others and my House win. My House stands out for our fairness, integrity, and athleticism. Shoutout to Camden, Cason, Easton, Chris, Sebastian, McClayne, Lily, Victoria, and all St. Francis members for making this year so memorable.

Victoria - Service Captain

I love being part of the House program because I get to show my leadership and be involved in special House meetings and activities. I wanted to be a captain to try something new and because I enjoy leading others. It’s also my last year in middle school, and I want it to be awesome! The House of St. Francis stands out because we have many athletes and are often the most likely to win more games and activities. Shoutout to Lilly, Gianna, and Ale for helping make our House amazing!

Alumni Testimonials

Ava Masri - Class of 2022

Hi! My name is Ava Masri and I was a part of the green house of St. Francis. I loved many things about this program but most of all I loved how each week we got to play a new game that we never played before, and it was always so much fun! Something I learned from being a part of green house is that we don’t always need to win to have a good time. To the future members of green house: Be encouraging to your teammates and make new friends in your house!

Ryan Nero - Class of 2022

I was the activity captain last year and we were able to win a couple of events… this year hopefully we are better! I loved the teamwork that the events required, and the competitiveness. I learned more about St. Francis.

Welcome to the House of St. Joan of Arc!

The yellow House is named in honor of St. Joan of Arc. St. Joan was a courageous teenager who laid down her life for her unwavering belief in God. Her example inspires the members of our House to be fearless and to never miss an opportunity to stand up for what is right. St. Joan of Arc is the patron saint of many things including youth, those who are ridiculed for their faith, and those in need of courage. St. Joan of Arc, pray for us and give us courage!

House Motto

"Go forward bravely. Fear nothing." -St. Joan of Arc

Our 25-26 Captains

Gavin - House Captain

My favorite thing about the House program is playing outside and getting out of the classrooms. I wanted to be a captain so I can show my leadership to the rest of the school. My House stands out because we laugh a lot and try to have as much fun as we can. Shoutout to Mathew Midgett for being a hardworking House member who I believe has the potential to be a captain next year.

Maya - Activities Captain

My favorite thing about the House program is that it teaches children to have patience and good sportsmanship while playing with the guidance of our Lord. I wanted to be a captain because I know I can show leadership, faith, and good sportsmanship while having fun playing sports. Whenever I hear “St. Joan of Arc,” I think of bravery. As a house, we stand out because when we get hurt or lose a match, we keep going—and every time we do, we get better and better. I want to give a shoutout to everyone in my House who shows support for their teammates and friends. As St. Joan of Arc, we make our team great.

Alumni Testimonials

Avery Paton - Class of 2022

I was a part of St. Joan of Arc and I loved the House competition. I thought it was very fun to get outside every week and compete with your classmates. Sadly, St. Joan of Arc didn’t win much, so what I took out of House was that even if you’re not always winning you can still make the best out of it!

Caroline Findley - Class of 2022

I loved that House brought the grades together and we got to spend time with each other in the day. I learned leadership skills by helping and encouraging the people in my House.

Welcome to the House of St. Sebastian!

The House of St. Sebastian honors the valor of our saint by wearing the color red. St. Sebastian was a brave soldier who joined the Roman army to help defend Christians who were being martyred. He miraculously survived being shot by multiple arrows, though he was later martyred. Our House seeks to model the self-sacrificing nature of St. Sebastian by being willing to fight for justice alongside our brothers and sisters in faith. St. Sebastian is the patron saint of athletes, and our members focus on qualities such as sportsmanship and teamwork. St. Sebastian, pray for us!

Our 25-26 Captains

Rafaella - House Captain

My favorite thing about this program is that all the seventh and eighth graders get to show their leadership and that we all get to have fun and show a good example. I wanted to be captain because I love to show leadership and I wanted to learn about the seventh graders better. Our House stands out because I believe the people in our House are kind and always trying. Sure, some people make mistakes, but that’s what makes us a great House. I would like to give a shoutout to Logan because he always tries really hard, and Ella because she is super sweet.

Marika - Service Captain

I love the teamwork and how everyone can come together and play games once a month. I wanted to be a captain so that I can help lead my House to success. Our House is very energetic and loud when it comes to spirit. I want to give a shoutout to Ella, who even though she is not a captain, helps get everyone in control and always has lots of points for our team.

Welcome to the  House of St. Teresa!

Mother Teresa, now known as St. Teresa of Calcutta, is the inspiration behind our House. We wear blue in honor of the Missionaries of Charity, founded by St. Teresa. As a nun in Calcutta, India, St. Teresa served the poorest of the poor. Like her, our members seek to give love and care to all those we encounter, no matter who they are. St. Teresa is the patron saint of World Youth Day, which reminds us that we are members of a worldwide family in Christ. St. Teresa’s modern example of selflessness and perseverance is a reminder to us that we are all called to serve with open hearts and hands. St. Teresa, pray for us!

My favorite thing about House is helping and encouraging the younger kids. I wanted to be a big part of House and help kids do their best. Our House uses teamwork and collaboration to build the best and strongest House. I personally can’t give a shoutout to just one person—our House is full of creativity and hardworking students who understand our goal.

My favorite thing about the House program is that everyone gets the opportunity to be a leader. I wanted to be a House Captain because I think I can help lead our House to win.
