At Goolsby Elementary School, we utilize a program called the House System, which has a proven track record of fostering a positive school climate and culture that students, staff, and families embrace. We want every student to look forward to coming to school each day. 

A key element of the House System is creating a sense of belonging among all students and staff and building stronger connections within our school community.  To achieve this, each student is sorted into one of four houses. By being part of a house, every child belongs to a smaller group within the larger school community. Each student will have a crew and a cause. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to take on leadership roles within their houses. 

Throughout the school year, students will have the opportunity to receive points for their houses. Points are awarded for going above and beyond expectations in areas such as academic achievement, character, school spirit, and uplifting others. While points are not the primary purpose of the program, when students work together to earn points for their houses, they celebrate, support, and encourage one another to achieve excellence. The house that earns the most points at the end of the year will be named the House Champions!

If your child is new to Goolsby, they will be sorted into one of our four houses. If your child is a current student at Goolsby, they have already been sorted and remain in the same House.
