Amistad

Amistad is the House that originates from Mexico—a group of kind yet powerful individuals, known mostly for their unconquered spirit. In the language of their ancestry, the name means friendship.

Incoming members are often a mix of extremes—our students can be incredibly intelligent, creative, friendly, and competitive. Amistad is a wonderfully diverse group! Although it took the House eight years to win its first House Championship, its fierce spirit never wavered. The House draws great inspiration from its symbolic animal, the immortal peacock, and leaders always remind members that the fighting spirit of an Amistadian never dies. Members of our House are consistently challenged to self-reflect because we believe that “Once the peacock finds its feathers, it discovers who it really is.” Therefore, each student is encouraged to find their own feathers and step into their greatness. While some students may enter the House lacking confidence, they will learn to embrace their authentic selves and master the gifts, talents, and virtues of an Amistadian. Once this milestone is reached, a student may earn the highest honor of the House—knighthood. As a knight, they become fierce warriors, protectors of the realm, and guardians of the kingdom’s most valuable treasure: friendship.
