House

One of the things that sets Sandusky Central Catholic School apart from other schools in the area is our House System.  The primary purpose of the House System is to further the mission of Sandusky Central Catholic School by providing attention and care to all students while strengthening the sense of community and school spirit.  The Houses also enable students to proactively develop their own unique leadership skills.

Each House is composed of a mix of students from grades 6 through 12. Students remain in the same House during their entire time at SCCS.  Each House has its own President and Vice President, and is divided into four small groups.  Each small group has its own Junior or Senior group leaders as well as four Teacher Mentors, and they meet weekly in faith sharing communities.  Students form friendships and unique bonds they might not have otherwise found, especially in grades other than their own.

Houses compete against one another in several areas:  GPA, Service Hours completed, fundraising for charities which promote Catholic values, and friendly athletic competitions. Through all the interaction and House activities during the school year, students develop a special identity with their House and the people in it.

Each individual house gathers once a year in the All Saints Chapel inside the walls of the school for a House Mass followed by a breakfast together. The houses also volunteer together, with each house assisting at one of the school fish fry nights that occur during Lent at Holy Angels Parish.

The end of the year is wrapped up with a cardboard boat regatta, where each house designs and constructs a cardboard boat and races them against each other on Lake Erie to see which team wins. 

The House System is advised by the Campus Minister, but the planning and execution of the System is completed by the House Cabinet which is composed of two Seniors and two Juniors.

​Each House is named after a Catholic Saint:

  • ​Saint Augustine

  • Saint Thomas Aquinas

  • ​Saint Therese of Lisieux

  • ​Saint Jerome

  • ​Saint Francis deSales

  • Saint Anthony of Padua
