Ron Clark House System
The Ron Clark Academy House System is a dynamic, exciting, and proven way to create a positive climate and culture for students and staff. Using RCA’s methods will help your school or district confidently implement processes that build character, relationships, and school spirit. Our guidelines are designed to give you a streamlined framework that can be applied to any type of learning environment.
The Woodlands Middle House System features five houses — our learning and leadership communities for students. Each House has unique properties, such as its own color, symbols, nation of heritage, history, and more. Over time, each House also starts to take on its own values and personality-driven by the culture of the students and staff within it.
What Is It?
Woodlands Middle School has 5 Houses. These houses make up smaller communities within our school. Every staff member and student belongs to a house so everyone feels a sense of belonging at school. Each house represents different traits, history, and traditions.
Why the House System?
- Builds character and school-wide community- provides opportunities for students to socialize with peers outside of their classes and with positive adult role models beyond just their classroom teachers
- Provides youth leadership opportunities
- Promotes a culture of constructive competition - students learn how to be team players, contribute their efforts
toward a group, and learn that those who working hard and stick with it are often the ones rewarded
House Points
Each student’s personal accomplishments are rewarded with points that collectively count toward his/her house. This gives students an opportunity to be recognized and thanked by their peers for their individual contributions to the overall team.
