Let the sorting begin!

New middle school students at Tallulah Falls School celebrated membership in one of four themed houses on August 26 – the Grey Wolves, Black Ravens, Green Hornets and White Owls comprise the four houses.

Similar to the process described in the literature series featuring a boy wizard, sorting involves taking turns drawing a slip of paper from a fanciful hat. 

Students new to the TFS community in each of four grades held a separate gathering to determine membership, with fifth-grade students representing the bulk of newly arrived students. 

The house system was developed to promote connections among students in all grades, as well as leadership opportunities. The houses provide the forum to get all students involved in community, collaboration and competition.
