House Motto: Rise Up, Persevere!!
House Color: Black
The members of the House of Perseverancia are known for their uplifting nature, always rising above, and helping others do the same. This is where their name comes from in Spanish, meaning to “persevere”. We embody all of Aquarian’s core values. Students may join us with a dim spark in the beginning, but they will grow to have a great fire of strength as they continue on! This is because it takes great strength to rise above. Being able to support others means seeing past the current problem by taking a deep breath, and looking toward the next step.
The House of Perseverancia takes inspiration from the Phoenix as their symbolic animal. The Phoenix is a powerful creature who is able to rise up from the fire and ashes, reborn into an even greater being because it has learned from its mistakes or sacrifices. Full of ancient power and wisdom, the Phoenix reminds the members of the House not only that it is their duty to rise up from the ashes, but also their duty to help others do the same. Because when we uplift everyone around us, we uplift and create a better world for us all.
