Solomon House: named for Solomon Le Clerq, a French Christian Brother martyred during the French Revolution. Toussaint House: named for Pierre Toussaint, born a Catholic slave in Haiti, who moved to New York City and eventually funded the building of a Catholic Church. House System At the start of the 2010-2011 school year, Loughlin was the first school in New York City to employ the house system. Just like the Harry Potter series, all students are randomly assigned to houses when they enter as freshmen and will remain in that house until they graduate. Within each house, student leaders of each grade level will be in charge of running house meetings, planning events and activities, organizing the mentoring of younger students by older students, and holding each student accountable to the values of Bishop Loughlin. Each house will generate a strong sense of belonging among its members. Instead of incoming freshmen trying to find a place among the 800 students of Loughlin, they will have a group of 100 students of all grade levels in their house that will help them adjust to the new surroundings. The houses will have their own colors, mascots, and apparel and compete against each other academically, athletically, and in special school-spirit events. A great deal of responsibility is placed on the student leaders to creatively implement their own ideas, but with that responsibility comes leadership experience and student empowerment. The houses compete to be the top house of the school year through points garnered for things like involvement in community service, supporting the Loughlin sports teams, being punctual in school, academic excellence, and house competitions. The house system is going to usher in a new era of student leadership, involvement, unity, and opportunity at Bishop Loughlin.
