Gus Garcia YMLA cultivates leadership skills through a dynamic house system. At the start of each academic year, students are assigned to one of our houses, where they become empowered leaders who hold each other accountable and inspire success within their brotherhood.
Regular house competitions give students opportunities to develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills as they investigate challenges and collaborate on solutions. Our houses are modeled after fraternal organizations commonly found on college campuses, helping students gain early experience in leadership, teamwork, and camaraderie.
House Points are tracked through the LiveSchool App and can be redeemed for special prizes and exclusive campus events!
Gold Tie Awards:
The Gold Tie recipients serve as leaders within our House System, setting an example for their peers through positive behavior, academic dedication, and strong attendance. As House leaders, these students help foster teamwork, encourage accountability, and support the success of their fellow brothers. Their commitment to living out our School Motto and Creed makes them role models not just in the classroom, but across the entire Gus Garcia YMLA community.
