How does the House System Work?

Beginning in 7th grade, students are assigned to an Omada where they will remain a member until they graduate. Seniors are the de facto leaders of each of their Omada providing leadership, planning activities, and organizing service projects. Throughout the school year, the four Omades participate in an ongoing competition with triannual rewards.
