Students are sorted into their House at the beginning of the year and throughout the year as new students arrive at Mathews.  Our Houses build campus community as students connect across grade levels and reinforce our character traits taught with the Positivity Project! 

Houses are celebrated during Friday morning assemblies and each year during Field Day, the Houses compete for the Mathews House Cup.   House meetings take place once a quarter.
