4 Houses -1 Family

This year we have implemented the Ron Clark House System! Last Friday, every student was sorted into a "house" these houses will meet periodically throughout the year and participate in pep rallies together. The goal is to create a stronger sense of belonging amongst students in all grade levels and give teachers an opportunity to meet students that they don't have in class. Students will earn house points for showing their Galloway Greatness. The house with the most points will be recognized at our pep rally and our top 20 highest point earners will be invited to a special party every quarter.

We encourage you ask your child about which house they have been sorted into and on spirit days, have them wear their house color!
