A Big Thank You to Aaron Forrer, Josh Morgerson, and Zach Shafer for donating their time and pressure washing our bleachers prior to Homecoming! Great Community Partners!

Last week our Middle School Houses had their house sorting ceremony. Each 5th student was welcomed to their new House. The 4 Houses of the Ron Clark Academy—Amistad, Altruismo, Isibindi, Rêveur—each represent a unique core value that shapes student character and school culture. Every student and staff member is sorted into a House, creating a sense of belonging, pride, and family. These Houses promote values such as friendship, bravery, giving, dreams, success, kindness, unity, and uplift. Through healthy competition, students earn points for demonstrating excellence in academics, behavior, and leadership. This system encourages positive behavior, builds confidence, and motivates students to support one another. House events, chants, and celebrations bring energy and unity to the entire school. Students feel seen, valued, and empowered to grow into the best version of themselves. Overall, the House System transforms the school environment into one that is vibrant, inclusive, and purpose-driven.
