Four Houses as One
Four Houses as One
A high school house system is designed to build community, encourage positive behavior, and promote school spirit. In this system, all students and staff are assigned to a house—each with its own name, color, and values. Houses compete in a variety of events throughout the year, earning points for participation, achievement, and teamwork.
The system creates a sense of belonging by bringing together students from different year levels. Upperclassmen will serve as leaders, mentoring younger students and promoting unity. Friendly competition in sports, academics, arts, and service activities helps students develop confidence, leadership, and collaboration skills.
Points are awarded not just for winning events, but also for showing effort, respect, and school values. At the end of the year, the house with the highest score wins the House Cup, celebrating excellence and spirit.
Beyond competition, the house system encourages positive relationships, personal growth, and school pride. It helps students feel more connected and involved in school life, creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all.

Grove
Grove
House Grove is named for the walnut groves that once covered the land where De La Salle now stands. These groves, rooted in Concord’s soil, symbolize the strength, resilience, and longevity that continue to define our community. De La Salle’s beginnings were equally humble—on Oak Grove Avenue at the former Most Precious Blood Parish, where in 1965 just four rented classrooms planted the seed of a school. Like a tree, that seed has grown into the thriving Brotherhood we celebrate today.
Reedley
Reedley
House Reedley takes its name from Reedley, California, home to the Christian Brothers Winery and vineyard that helped fund and make De La Salle’s founding possible. The funds generated there provided vital support for our first campus at Most Precious Blood Parish, where the school began with just a few classrooms. This legacy of faith, service, and commitment from the Christian Brothers planted the foundation for De La Salle’s mission to educate young men—a mission that continues to thrive today.
Cook
Cook
House Cook honors Brother Norman Cook, F.S.C., the founding principal of Most Precious Blood and later De La Salle. Br. Cook dedicated 56 years of his life to the Christian Brothers, leading with faith, integrity, and vision. Known for his character and commitment, he inspired generations of students to embody Lasallian values through action. His leadership helped shape De La Salle into the thriving school it is today, making him a lasting symbol of character, legacy, and brotherhood.
Odyssey
Odyssey
House Odyssey is named after The Odyssey, De La Salle’s yearbook name for decades. Odyssey captures the spirit of discovery—both the individual growth of each Spartan and the unfolding story of our brotherhood. Like the epic journey of Odysseus, life at De La Salle can bring challenges, but it also builds resilience, courage, and lasting friendships. Odyssey reminds us that every Spartan’s story is part of the greater journey that makes our community strong.
