Editing House system (section)

== Adoption by US K12 Schools ==
House systems have gained increasing popularity in the United States, particularly over the past two decades. One of the most prominent examples of its early adoption in U.S. schools is the [[Ron Clark Academy]], which has become widely known for using a house system to promote school spirit, positive behavior, and a sense of belonging. The school's success has inspired many others to adopt similar systems.

Unlike the traditional British model, American schools often tailor their house systems to reflect local culture and community values. House names may reference regional icons, cultural themes, or school-specific values rather than historical figures or alumni. Additionally, the systems are often used to support behavior management and social-emotional learning, especially in K-12 settings.<ref>{{Cite web |title=House Name Ideas |url=https://www.whyliveschool.com/house-name-ideas |access-date=2025-04-23 |website=www.whyliveschool.com |language=en}}</ref>
