re: Anyone have kids at a school with a "house" concept?

Our Catholic HS implemented one a few years ago based on Saints as in the St Augustine house and the St Catherine Drexel house. The results from my perspective are mixed. It’s definitely built some community were there wouldn’t have been before but the group activities time take effort and planning on the part of teachers and coaches that are already overloaded so sometimes they mail it in. I think it’d be more effective if they gave the students more ownership of the process.
