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.
