House System Benefits at High School

A graduate of San Francisco State University, Father John Jimenez holds a bachelor of arts in social work. Father John Jimenez is currently a chaplain at the Archdiocese of San Francisco and the Archbishop Riordan High School.

The Archbishop Riordan High School is a catholic school that follows the Marianist tradition and aims to create leaders with deep values of faith. In the 2017-2018 year the high school launched a house program that aims to help students create valuable relationships and work together with mentors in order to win points and win the house cup. With this program, the high school promotes camaraderie and teamwork and inspires the students in healthy and challenging competition. Each student is assigned to one of the four available houses which include the house of Bolts, the house of Pilar, of Cana, and of Russi.

To win points, the students participate in a wide range of athletic, academic, and teamwork activities. The house system provides leadership opportunities for many students as there are more roles on the student parliament of the school.
