House System

Hero

The Schenck School House System is an integral part of our vibrant school community designed to inspire and engage students, faculty, and staff.

This system, rooted in the legacy of our founder and symbolized by our mascot, Phelix the Phoenix, embodies the resilience and transformation of our students as they overcome the challenges of dyslexia, grow into confident readers, and soar to new heights.

The Four Houses

At The Schenck School, every student, faculty, and staff member is sorted into one of our four houses. Each house represents unique elements and qualities, encouraging a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.

Building Community

Schenck students have the opportunity to earn points for their house by demonstrating good character, citizenship, and resilience. You might hear students excitedly talk about "earning a marble for my house!" as they work towards these goals. This system not only motivates individual effort but also promotes a sense of belonging and teamwork.

Together, these efforts help create a positive and supportive school culture at The Schenck School where every student is encouraged to contribute and grow.
