Our Class of 2030 learned which part of the CHS House System they belong to when they each were welcomed by students and faculty after their names were announced at a raucous 2025 CHS House Induction Ceremony.

Student and faculty representatives from all six houses wore their colors – among other fun items – in Scaccia Auditorium as teacher (and Campion Head of House, and virtuoso public address announcer) Bryce Hopkins ’08 announced the new House members. 

The houses named after prominent Jesuits and each have a main color: St. Ignatius Loyola (purple), St. Isaac Jogues (green), St. Aloysius Gonzaga (blue), Pedro Arrupe (yellow), St. Edmund Campion (red) and St. Francis Xavier (orange).

These outstanding images are by CHS Digital Media photographer Dean Gracie ’27 (gracie_prod). 

The competition, brotherhood and camaraderie of the pioneering CHS House System carry through students’ four years. 

The houses provide an additional infrastructure of smaller communities within our larger school community and helps build stronger bonds and connections between students throughout all four grades as well as with the faculty.

Our houses also offer leadership opportunities – the freshmen who were welcomed today will go on to help organize and hold this ceremony in future years.

Students and families interested in the CHS House System and the excellence only found in a Jesuit education at Canisius – ranked as the Buffalo area’s “Best Catholic School” by Buffalo Business First – can learn more by reserving a spot for our Open House on Sunday, Oct. 18 or Monday, Oct. 19 via canisiushigh.org/openhouse   

This place is special. Let us show you why.
