House Program

The House Program is designed to cultivate a family atmosphere on campus where students are known, accepted, and loved as individuals.

The House Program aims to ensure that all students’ academic, personal, and spiritual needs are known and met during their years here.

House Saints and Structure: The student body is divided into four Houses: Bakhita, Drexel, Molla and Romero, each named for a Saint we hope to exemplify. In the Catholic faith tradition, we look to the saints as people who strived to follow Jesus in the midst of (and sometimes in spite of!) their own humanity, the circumstances of their lives, and their societal contexts.  Each of the four Houses has one faculty member who serves as the House Dean, two senior House Leaders, and a service and social chair for each House. This House Leadership team works together to promote spirit, belonging, and fun!

Households: Within the House Structure, students are split into 40 small, single-gender Households (10 households per House). A faculty member is assigned as Household Dean to each household, and this person becomes the primary contact with the family to help ensure each student’s success while at Saint Joseph’s. The Household Program also includes a place for parents to get involved, belong, and feel part of the school community. Boy and Girl Households form Brother/Sister Teams that come together for activities, competition, and camaraderie.
