Households

Building Virtue in Fraternity

When students first arrive at Archbishop Shaw, they are placed into a household. This is not just a group: it’s a whole new company of friends.

The household system was designed to let new and incoming students quickly transition into high school life and become immersed in Shaw culture. The benefits are many: our boys learn how to work with others, many are entrusted with new and exciting responsibilities, and students who would have never crossed paths quickly become good friends. It’s the foundation for memories that will last a lifetime.

We’re only getting started: each year, new students bring new ideas that elevate their households to new heights. It’s all part of our commitment to EXCELSIOR and to fly ever higher.
