The House System, such an
unorthodox way of doing school, it’s been a revolutionary twist to WC’s normal
schedule. As a way to unify the student body, it’s clear that the students
enjoy this new change. Although the majority of this family time has been fun,
the house system has an even bigger focus than just being a fun initiative.
The House system is a great opportunity to promote leadership within the school. The Leadership class, a class lead by Mr.
Roads and Miss Knepper, consists of twelve House leaders, who preside over each
individual house. These twelve students plan events, personality
evaluations, and chapel events. Not
only these twelve are leaders however, the family leaders have capitalized on
the short time given to them each week to come up with exciting and inventive
ways to create lasting relationships with each other, and have fun. Chaplains
have also been involved with the task of making chapels more relevant and with greater impact, and through that, the student body has been more engaged with chapel
than ever.
So there you have it. WC has
become an even more student-led experience, with a focus on group leadership
within each house. May the best house win!
