EIGHT SEVEN SIX FIVE FOUR HOUSES, ONE FAMILY

The Ron Clark Academy House System features eight 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.
