House System

• The House System is a form of student life organization that offers each student an opportunity to grow spiritually, academically, and socially within a smaller community of students and faculty. 
• It is designed to give each student a deep sense of belonging and the sure conviction that they have a contribution to make in their school, their city, and perhaps even to the farthest ends of the earth. 
• The ultimate hope of the House System is that Frassati graduates take the leadership skills they have gained here to help build a civilization of love. 

Executive Council 

• The Executive Council of 20 (16 Representatives and 4 Mayors) students meets weekly and consists of all elected officials of the Houses and Cities. 

• Each city organizes one school-wide event: the Blender, Homecoming, Mother/Son and Father/Daughter Dance, Prom. These rotate each year—so that during a student’s four years here, they will have the opportunity to help organize each of these events.  
• Each city will do a service project each year. If the school event they are planning is in the fall, their service project will be second semester and vice versa.
• Houses discuss possibilities for these service projects and submit proposals to the City Council. These are presented at the city council meeting and voted on. 

Competitions

• To promote a healthy level of competition that will foster the pursuit of a virtuous life, each City is awarded points throughout the year for activities that promote a life lived in the spirit of the beatitudes. 
• During Spirit Week, the winning city is announced at the end of the Spirit Dance; this city’s name is added to the Spirit Week Plaque. 
• At the end of each year, a single city is awarded the Tipi Loschi Cup in honor of our patron who started a society by this name in order to build strong bonds of friendship.
