Activities & Events

• Houses - At Rapides Academy, we want our students to be invested in building community and making lasting relationships with their peers and teachers. We want our students to enjoy coming to school and to feel invested in, and we believe that their involvement in the House System will work to make them better students and ultimately better people. We have implemented the House System to help cultivate a positive, encouraging environment for our students to learn in because we believe their success is dependent upon a positive school climate.
