House System (Grades 9-12)

Five Houses, United in Excellence

Patterned after British secondary-schooling tradition, Liberty’s House System helps set the school apart from others.  Upon entering high school at Liberty, each student is inducted into their House – a community within a community – which serves as a student-life team providing peer-to-peer support, camaraderie, and practical reinforcement toward acquiring rare leadership experiences across the entire student body.

What is the House System?

The LCHS House System is a student-organizational structure in grades 9-12 designed to manage maturing students through the establishment of vertical peer divisions.  This, “family within a family” framework achieves specific academic and student-life objectives.  The system supplants the traditional horizontal “student-government” groupings of school class, age and grade level by creating smaller integrated communities of students within the school. 

The LCHS House System also provides a framework for student governance allowing greater opportunity for development of meaningful leadership for more students.

Purpose:

  • To increase institutional and peer-to-peer support for each student.
  • To ensure individual care for each student with at least two adults who will monitor and support the academic, social, moral and behavioral growth of each LCHS student.
  • To multiply occasions to build strong, healthy student relationships.
  • To develop leadership skills in every student.
  • To enhance recruitment of new students.
  • To maintain relationships with LCHS graduates.  

Unique Outcomes:

  • Enhanced school-family spirit spanning freshman- through senior-class divisions.
  • More robust opportunities for all LCHS seniors to be trained as leaders through hands-on service gaining meaningful, valuable leadership experience.
  • More legitimate resume-building opportunities for every student.
  • More robust leadership opportunities for LCHS underclassmen.
  • Stronger interpersonal-relationship skills for each LCHS student.
  • More focused support internalizing LCHS character development.

House-System Leaders

The House Leadership consists of two House Directors and two School Captains.
 
School Captains are elected by the student population and serve as representatives of the entire student body of Liberty Common High School.
