The House System at Highlands Latin School
At Highlands, the house system provides students with a strong sense of identity and belonging, establishes meaningful traditions on a young campus, and offers abundant leadership opportunities, all while keeping school life fun.Because each student belongs to a house, there is a natural motivation to do one’s best. Students learn that their actions matter, not only for themselves but for their community. Our student leaders are reminded that future generations will look back to them as early examples and builders of their houses.
