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:
“Go out of the house to see the moon, and ‘t is mere tinsel; it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey. The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who could ever clutch it? Go forth to find it, and it is gone: ‘t is only a mirage as you look from the windows of diligence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A heresy can spring only from a system that is in full vigor.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
