House System
Holy Spirit Preparatory School has a house system. There are four houses, each named after Ecumenical Councils, and each house has its own mascot and color:
- House of Chalcedon: Cerberus - Purple
- House of Trent: Dragon - Blue
- House of Lyons: Lion - Orange
- House of Nicaea: Eagle - Red
Holy Spirit's house system divides students randomly into four groups. There is competition between these houses in order to win a grand prize of going to Six Flags over Georgia at the end of the year. The house point system works by enforcing positive behavior, such as volunteering for service opportunities, holding the door, helping a teacher carry something, cleaning the teacher's boards, etc. However house points can also be deducted from a student for using negligent behavior. There are also House competitions (like field day) in which members of each house competes in events, whether sporting or academic in nature.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“Mothers of America
let your kids go to the movies!
get them out of the house so they won’t know what you’re up to
it’s true that fresh air is good for the body
but what about the soul
that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images”
—Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)
“My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.”
—Timothy Leary (b. 1920)
