House Leadership & Service
At Hartley, we believe it is imperative for students to gain not only knowledge in high school but also real world skills to be successful. We expect students to use their education and make an impact.
Leadership
House Leadership was part of the transformation of our school leadership program 16 years ago when the House System was implemented at Bishop Hartley. Changing from a Student Government model, House Leadership is now hands on and fully active in the daily life of the school and has increased the amount of leadership roles we have in the school. Our House Leadership is important to fostering the school community and culture by building school and House spirit. Our leaders are tasked with developing student relationships, House activities and all school activities. Our House System is engrained into the fabric of our school and reaches beyond house time with faith, service, and community activities our leaders plan and coordinate.
House Advisory Board
The House Leadership Advisory Board is a group of 13 seniors who take the lead in guiding the school community. It consists of teams of two for each Pillar of our school with specific focuses and initiatives attached to the pillars. This group of 13 students will also be integrated into the House Leadership for their houses, and responsible to relaying information to the mentor groups and planning and facilitating schoolwide activities throughout the school year. The House Leadership Advisory Board is supported by a Coordinator.
House Service Drive Competition
Service
Service is one of the six pillars of Bishop Hartley, a component of evangelization as a Christian living in a secular world, and a critical facet of fine character. We cannot emphasize its Christian value enough:
House Competition Benefits: If the entire mentor group has their hours submitted by the check in deadline, the group earns 1 point for their House. The House can earn up to 6 points per check in towards their House Cup total.
