All Saints Catholic School is excited to announce the launch of a new House System for Upper School students in grades 6, 7, and 8. This initiative is designed to strengthen community, spiritual growth, and socialization across grade levels.

The House System divides students into six houses, each named after a saint who exemplifies Christ's virtues: St. Francis of Assisi, St. Joan of Arc, St. Peter, St. Lucy, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Gabriel. Each house is led by a faculty House Leader and consists of a mix of students from all three grades. Students will meet in their houses each morning and afternoon, as well as twice a month for extended sessions focused on community building, outreach, prayer, and spiritual growth.

Head of School, Steven Virgadamo, shared his enthusiasm for the program, stating, "This new initiative is about creating a family within our school where every student feels supported, valued, and connected. Centered around the virtues of our saints, it’s an opportunity for our students to grow both academically and spiritually."

The school year kicked off with the official launch of the House System during the first day of school. Students were assigned to their houses and participated in ice breakers, team-building activities, and a kickball tournament. They were also given house t-shirts in their house colors, creating excitement and unity among the students.

This innovative program aims to enhance the sense of community at All Saints Catholic School, helping students develop deeper connections with their peers and Christ throughout the year.
