Welcome to the House System at HTS!
The House System is an exciting way to build community and identity at Holy Trinity School. Smaller communities formed by each house encourage students to form stronger bonds with schoolmates. These relationships and participation in a common goal lead to a sense of belonging, which has academic benefits as well as social-emotional ones. In addition to building a greater sense of community, the House System provides opportunities for students to engage in leadership roles and service projects.
Students can earn house points throughout the year by demonstrating house traits, excelling in sports or academics, and showing effort and significant progress toward personal goals. Students and parents can keep track of house points and house standings here.
