Mustang House System

Five teachers stand with their arms around each other in a hallway while smiling at the camera. They are all dressed in a silly and monochromatic way to support their respective houses. 

HMS House System’s goal is to provide guidance and support to all students. We want to ensure students have a deep connection of a family with other members of their house.

The House System helps students in a multitude of ways including, fostering student relationships, improving academic performance, and reducing school disciplinary problems. The Houses at HMS offer a sense of belonging to each student!

House points are tracked using the RCA House Point App or Website. As students earn points, they will see themselves on the video screens in the halls of HMS. The top students who earn the most points from the winning house each quarter will earn a celebration, and all houses will competing for the house cup and spirit award throughout the year!
