What is ACS HOUSE?
The HOUSE’s goal is to build relationships with the students, God, self, others, the local, and the world community. In addition to HOUSE goals, it also promotes student positive behavior, school spirit, and for students to become leaders in their own personal way.
Through our HOUSE competitions, it encourages us to educate, to help others in the spirit of solidarity, and mutual learning while building an inclusive environment, equity, and human dignity. Since HOUSE was established, students have become more invested in HOUSE and school culture.
The administrators are always looking for more ways in which they can challenge students to become better people and how they can positively display that. As educators, we live magis to place our gifts and talents in God’s service to develop young people and help bring about positive change in the world.
