Congrats to our new Middle School House Presidents: Janiyah, Zyanae, Zy’Quis, and Juelz! These standout 8th grade students were elected by their peers to help steer student decisions—like Spirit Week themes—and lead their Houses during competitions and team challenges.

Our four “Houses” are teams of K-8 students, teachers, and staff, whose names reflect our Pride motto using words borrowed from Swahili—Ndoto (I have a Dream), Heshima (I show Respect), Tayari (I am Prepared), and Bora (I will Excel). Our House system allows kids to earn points through shout-outs, perfect attendance, team competitions, and all the everyday ways they strengthen our school community.
