What is the W.T. Lewis House System? Our House System is a way for students and staff to build relationships, create a strong sense of belonging, and celebrate one another while working together toward success.
Every student is a valued member of one of our six Houses. Throughout the year, Houses will participate in activities, challenges, and celebrations while demonstrating our Bulldog values.
New students to W.T. Lewis will discover which House they will be a part of on Friday, September 4th! We can't wait to welcome them into their House family!
Want to learn more? Watch this short video to see what the House System is all about:
