    The House Competitions at the high school campus began in the 2008-2009 school year.

Students are assigned to a house at the beginning of their Grade 9, remaining in those houses for the rest of their time at the high school. At the beginning of the year, each house elects two senior captains, a male and female. These captains help create activities throughout the year, and they lead their team during Spirit Week and help build spirit within the student body.

  • Charter Book Signing

    The Book Signing has been a tradition at the high school campus since the opening of its doors. It is the first official ceremony students take part in when entering the high school. Students line up outside of Founders Hall in alphabetical order, waiting for the Dean of Students to call their name to enter. Upon entrance to Founders Hall, students walk up to the podium and receive the signing pen from the Dean of Admissions. Students’ names are read aloud as they sign, and they shake hands with the Head of the High School and the Head of School. Students then proceed through the hallway, which is lined with faculty cheering them on and congratulating them. Once the signing is done, everyone convenes at the opening assembly.
