House System

A new House System—created by the students for the students — was implemented in 2017 to deepen the sense of community, camaraderie, and shared commitment to excellence at the college prep high school already grounded in a communal ethos. As a student-run school-wide program, the House System also provides abundant student leadership opportunities.

Through Seton's House System, each student is assigned to one of 15 Houses named after a patron saint. Each House comprises 40 freshman through senior students (five boys and five girls in each grade) who will remain in the same House during their years at Seton. Faculty and staff are also assigned to a House. School House systems originated in England as a way to organize students into boarding school buildings.
