Annunciation | Middle School Houses

HOUSE is an Annunciation middle school program that creates an inclusive, engaging, and friendly atmosphere while promoting spirituality, positive behavior, school spirit, leadership, and service. Students are divided into six HOUSES with a mix of all three grade levels. The HOUSES are all named after a saint: St. Michael, St. Juan Diego, St. Cloud, St. Sebastian, St. Joan of Arc, and St. Patrick.

Eighth-graders are elected to leadership roles such as Captain, Co-Captain, and Chaplin. These HOUSES meet monthly, tabulate points, and participate in activities and leadership lessons. HOUSES earn points for random acts of kindness, activity participation, service outside of the school day, Mass reflection questions, and HOUSE competitions.

Contests between HOUSES are full of fun and encourages a focus on teamwork and problem-solving. All HOUSES participated in a day of service in the Fall. Students volunteered at the Road Runner Food Bank, Barrett House, Mandy's Farm, Joy Junction, Montebello Retirement Community, and Catholic Charities. Now our teams are preparing for another day of service and will have donated over 600 hours of service to our local community.

Over the two years this program has been active, we have found that students integrate more with one another, have more school spirit, and make an effort to be more kind.
