House System
The Eagle Community
The purpose of the House System is to further enhance the mission of St. Thomas High School by fostering leadership skills and increasing service participation, all while building a stronger Eagle community.
The House System will make the transition to high school easier by providing a sense of belonging in a small community across all levels, interests, and activities.
Mission Statement
The House System at St. Thomas high school seeks to enrich school culture, enhance school spirit, provide opportunities for student leadership, promote fellowship, and facilitate pastoral care of all students by drawing upon the history and traditions of the Basilians, leveraging the strong bonds of brotherhood, and building intentional, authentic communities between students of different class levels and among faculty and staff.

Camp Aquinas
St. Thomas High School has created an immersive outdoor leadership camp for all incoming freshmen that will take place during the first week of school at Camp Cho-Yeh near Livingston, Texas. Camp Aquinas supports the Basilian tradition to teach Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge and of the school’s vision to form strong Catholic young men in service to the Church and the world.
School Retreat
Retreats are an essential part of the St. Thomas experience. Every freshman, sophomore, junior and senior is required to partake in a mandatory overnight retreat provided by STH during the school year.
Walk-a-thon
Walk-a-thon is the annual student fundraiser for student activities and is a long-standing tradition for over 50 years. Students walk around the Buffalo Bayou near the school and conclude with an afternoon of food and games. Houses that have the highest participation earn points for their house.
School Masses
Fall Olympics
Fall Olympics is the annual mid semester fall break in which students take a break from class to engage in a day-long series of competitions ranging from sports to chess to video games; the entire campus transforms into an Olympic stadium. Houses compete for points in these various events and earn money to the charity of their choice.
Christmas Toy Drive
St. Thomas, with the help of faculty members, hosts a toy drive at Christmas time in support of DePelchin Children’s Center. In an effort to promote these efforts, St. Thomas has worked it out to be a competition, to see who can bring in the most items, among the Houses.
Round Up
Within the overall structure of the House System, the Communio Program works to support the physical, academic, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of all students by providing opportunities for genuine mentorship and authentic community, establishing adult-to-student and student-to-student bonds to ensure the successful matriculation of the young men of St. Thomas to college, and aiding them in reaching their God-given potential inside and outside the classroom.
