House System

Purpose:
The House System at DeSales is comprised of nine "houses" of approximately 35 students.  Each House is comprised of freshman through seniors, and students remains in the same House for all four years at DeSales.

Throughout the year, Houses compete in a variety of contests that encourage unity and pride among our students.  Each House has its own mascot, colors, and student-designed T-shirts.  Representatives from each House work closely with the Student Government on projects and issues.

Through the House system, students build stronger ties with each other and experience a deeper sense of brotherhood.

As DeSales was run by the Carmelite order of Catholic priests and brothers at its founding, each House is named after a sainted Carmelite.  The nine Houses are: Abbati, Brandsma, Elijah, Kalinowski, Mazzinghi, Pereira, Rabata, Spagnoli, and Thomas.

Eligibility:
All students are required to participate.

Moderators:
