Unifying the School Through Houses

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!
