House System

House System Fosters Teamwork, Friendship, Cooperation

 The House System has its roots in the British school system, where students are divided into mixed-age groups. Catholic schools use the house system to promote positive character traits as well as to instill a sense of belonging and group pride.

For students in 6th through 8th grades the St. Ambrose School House System is arranged into six different houses, each named after patron saints: King David, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Catherine of Sienna, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bridget of Kildare, and St. Vincent de Paul. 

Each house is its own home room and is comprised of members from each of the three grades. Each house is led by a faculty moderator and a House Captain, who is selected by the House Moderator/principal each year after meeting the specific character qualifications set up by the Middle School team.

Students participate in friendly competition and team building exercises throughout the school year. They work together to accumulate points when they do a good deed, serve or lecture at Mass or “go the extra mile” in offering service. 

The St. Ambrose School House System allows your child to grow spiritually and intellectually while forming new friendships. Our goal is to make every child feel appreciated and recognized for his or her achievements.
