Welcome from the Directors

Through the establishment of the House System, each student becomes part of a family room that provides stability, positivity, and inclusion; all of which create a successful learning environment. The primary purposes of the House System are to further the mission of the school by providing greater pastoral care to all students, providing academic support, training our students to become leaders and strengthening our sense of community.

Each student is assigned to one of six houses. In each of the six houses, there are approximately 120 students split into six family rooms. Every house contains members of the faculty and staff to mentor and provide support to all students.

No matter to which house a student belongs, we are all Carroll Patriots first, committed to furthering the mission of Christ both in our school, community, and the world.

Each House competes for points throughout a year-long series of events and challenges for the right to call themselves champions each year.  The Captains plan and execute four highly anticipated events where the intensity of competition is outmatched only by the camaraderie of students and adult mentors united under their House banners.  Students also earn points for their House by performing service activities and maintaining high grades in the classroom.  Smaller challenges throughout the year promote outreach to the greater Dayton community where points are not on the line but help reinforce our call to better the common good.

Welcome to Our House

Captains

Family Room Captains are responsible for planning and executing activities with the help of the House Dean, Faculty Mentors, and other senior leaders.  Every senior at Archbishop Carroll High School is expected to lead in some way, whether or not they have the title of Captain.

Adult Mentors

Every faculty and staff member is place in a Family Room to provide spiritual, academic, and social/emotional support to our students.  These adults foster stability and promote a family environment and sense of belonging among students and colleagues.

Family Room

A 25 minute block of time is devoted to Family Room on a typical school day.  Students participate in a variety of activities with an emphasis on prayer, grade checks, and community building.

Visit our House, and you'll find students leading each other in prayer, service activities, study tables, games, and even enjoying an occasional taco party or potluck lunch. This collaborative peer mentorship approach to building community enriches our school and cultivates life-long leadership skills and friendships.
