What is the House System?
The House System is an all encompassing way of structuring student life. This model of student government creates a sense of belonging, fosters school spirit, and provides an array of leadership opportunities for all students.
All students and faculty are assigned to one of eight houses; Augustine, Bonilla, Cordero, Drexel, McDonnell, Raphael, Solomon or Toussaint, as life time members. This concept helps foster bonds between teachers and students, and builds a strong sense of belonging to Bishop Loughlin. It is also meant to create a sense of continuity and permanence for our graduates.
The House System promotes friendly competition. Houses earn points for academic achievement, exemplary character, and participation in activities, athletics, and community service.
