5 At Prince Street, we believe in family. Not only are we all a part of one large Prince Street family, but we also have a system of smaller families called Houses within the school. Every scholar and staff are part of one of our five Houses, for which they remain a member throughout the duration of their time at Prince Street. Our five Houses—Kuleana, Jabari, Kuumba, Valentía and Goo Hae-Ra—bring scholars and staff from across the school together for a common purpose and bond. Scholars of the House aim to earn points daily by showing positive character, working hard, earning good grades, being a great friend and going above and beyond, just to name a few. Ultimately, each House is striving to earn the most amount of points at the end of the year, crowning them House Champions. Each month, Houses meet to come up with House goals, cheers, celebrations, team building, and unique traditions. During House celebrations, three members of each House are selected to spin the wheel to help earn extra House points. This tremendous honor is further rewarded by having an opportunity to write their name on the brick wall outside the gym. We encourage scholars and staff to show their House pride as much as possible. Each Friday is House Pride Friday and scholars can wear their House shirt. Prince Street is proud to offer this innovative and positive program to our scholars!
