House System

The gym might look — and sound — like total chaos, but what’s really happening during the monthly FCS House competitions?

Beyond matching T-shirts and team chants, high schoolers are learning teamwork, fostering community, serving others, and growing in their relationships with each other and Christ.

House Assignments

FCS 9th-12th graders are assigned to one of four “Houses,” comprised of students from each grade, where they remain during the duration of their high school career.

The team names are based on Luke 10:27: “And he said answering, Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.”

House ActivitiesEach month, the Houses meet to focus on God’s Word and also go head-to-head in separate monthly competitions. Each House earns points from the competitions and various spirit and service opportunities during the year (athletics, fine arts, academics, service hours, and more).

Even faculty and staff members join the fun, running the competitions and awarding points. During the first week of school, the games begin with the House Sorting Ceremony, where students receive their team assignments for the duration of their high school careers.

House points accumulate all year, and the team with the most points is named House Champion at the end of the school year during a lively House Awards ceremony.
