The Spirit Cup

The Spirit Cup is a year-long competition that unites students across all grade levels by placing them in one of four Houses: Aquinas, Dominic, Lima or Siena. Students earn points for their House through active participation in school events, service initiatives, and spirit-building activities. The House with the most points at the end of the school year will be awarded the prestigious Spirit Cup during a school-wide celebration.

The four Houses are named after Dominican Saints, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Dominic, St. Rose of Lima and St. Catherine of Siena.  Each House has a Patron Saint, Focus Area and Charism.  Student leadership includes a House Captain (Senior), Co-Captain (Junior), and Grade Reps (Sophomore & Freshman).
