House Quinlan won the 2022 House Cup for the second time in school history following Friday’s annual “Battle of the Houses” Day.
In a series of competitions throughout the 2021-2022 school year, Quinlan finished with a higher point total than the three other St. Michael Houses: Allen, Portier, and O’Sullivan. The House system incorporates students freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the same advisories (and in a larger setting, the same House), mimicking the Harry Potter-style ‘House’ system seen in British schools.
In addition to performing well during the “Battle of the Houses” events such as music trivia, an obstacle course, kickball, and tug-of-war, House Quinlan won earlier contests in the school year such as the Hurricane Ida “Cardinals to Comets” donations, finding the elf during Advent, and the spirit stick at the Homecoming Pep Rally. Quinlan was led by seniors Michael Taylor as President and Lauren Whitehead as Vice President.
Congratulations to all House Quinlan members!
