Honors Houses

Students are sorted into social communities that encourage participation in curricular and co-curricular activities leading to an Annual House Competition Winner each Spring semester. These Houses are very similar to Harry Potter. Each year our newest Honors students will engage in a Sorting Ceremony to find out which House they belong to.

Point Tracker

Activities for points must be submitted through Formstack (except when stated for certain events and activities). Points for the 2021-2022 academic year must be submitted between August 19, 2021 - April 7, 2022. No points will be awarded retroactively - activities must have been completed within the 2021-2022 academic school year. Look below for a full list of activities that will earn you points or click here to download the points tracker.
