About the House System

  • Mitchell Elementary has implemented the Ron Clark Academy (RCA) house system.
  • The house system creates a community among students while encouraging leadership and motivation to succeed.
  • A key benefit is promoting a sense of belonging among students.
  • Each student is assigned to one of four houses and can participate in house-specific events and activities throughout the year.
  • The sense of belonging helps students feel more connected to their school and peers, increasing engagement and motivation.
  • Mitchell Elementary has 4 houses but remains one unified family.
  • Students are sorted at random into the houses: Isibindi, Altruismo, Amistad, Reveur.
  • Teachers use the RCA House Points app to reward students; points benefit the entire house, not just individual students.
  • The system promotes school spirit, positive behavior, attendance, and academic achievement.
  • Students will have house spirit days where they can wear their house shirts.
  • Students are encouraged to learn about their houses and prepare to show their house spirit.
