About The Houses
Descendants from Ireland, the McKelvey clan is steeped in tradition and family, both new and old.
Metro Prep students are placed on a House Family team and encouraged to get involved in as many after-school activities as they can.
Our 9 teams, named after geographical areas in Ireland, compete throughout the year for championship status.
- Connemara House ~ Team Pink
- Cork House ~ Team Red
- Dublin House ~ Team Yellow
- Galway House ~ Team Blue
- Kildare House ~ Team White
- Mackenzie House ~ Team Black
- Meath House ~ Team Orange
- Monaghan House ~ Team Purple
- St. Patrick's House ~ Team Green

Points are awarded based on student participation and are averaged out with academic scores to create an overall House Team score.
In June, the House with the highest team average wins the coveted Championship Trophy, individual medals, and most importantly, the distinguished honour of being House Champion.
