Student Life

House System

In August of 2013, Strake Jesuit launched their House System at Freshman Orientation. Students are divided into eight houses, and remain in these houses until they graduate from Strake Jesuit. Throughout the year, houses compete against each other to earn their house various quarterly and yearly rewards.

The goal of the House System is to provide an opportunity for students and faculty to interact across grade levels. In doing so, the community benefits from increased school spirit, positive peer pressure, increased social connectedness, and healthy competition.

House Game Day

Four times per year, our Houses divide up for a Community Time competition. Advisories choose their favorite games, and compete together to earn points for their house.
Participation in Programs

Students who participate in a school extracurricular program will receive points for his House. These points are awarded at the end of your season.
Good Citizenship

Houses are awarded points for each member who earns a spot on the Honor Roll, and each member who earns zero PHs in a semester. Other similar opportunities are sometimes identified and announced.

House Council

The Strake Jesuit House Council, moderated by Mrs. Amy Doiron, is composed of four officers (all seniors), and representatives elected from each student house. The House Council is elected at the end of the school year and members serve through the following school year.

The House Council works to improve various aspects of student life and plays a central role in planning school activities such as dances, pep rallies, tailgates, and field day.

The members of the Council are honored to represent the Student Body. Suggestions, concerns, or comments always are welcome. Please feel free to contact the House Council through any of the House Council members.
