At Evangelical Christian School, House Games are more than competition—they’re a movement of unity, identity, and faith. In partnership with the nationally recognized Ron Clark House System, ECS has developed a dynamic, school-wide House program that includes every student from K4 through 12th grade.

We are so excited to introduce our HOUSE System: Six Houses, One Faith, all rooted in the powerful truth found in Romans 15:6:

“So that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and with one voice.”

Every ECS student has been assigned to one of six houses, where they will remain throughout their years at ECS—forming cross-grade bonds, building leadership, and participating in faith-driven challenges, service projects, and school spirit events. While the Ron Clark model brings structure, fun, and excellence, we’ve taken it further by making Jesus the center of it all.

From Scripture memory battles and service events to worship competitions and all-school rallies, ECS House Games weave faith and fun into every moment. It’s where students are challenged to grow in character, community, and Christlikeness—and it’s where they proudly Paint It Red.
