Amistad is the House that originates from Mexico. A group of individuals that are quiet but powerful, they are known most for their kindness of heart. This is why, in the language of their ancestry, their name means “friendship.”

Incoming members are often a mix of extremes — our students can be extremely intelligent, creative, friendly, and competitive; Amistad is a very diverse group! The House takes great inspiration from its symbolic animal, the peacock, and the leaders always remind the members of this saying: “Once the peacock finds its feathers, it discovers who it really is.” The encouragement is for each student to find his or her own feathers and discover their brilliance. While students may enter timidly, they learn to become brave as they find their true selves.

Alternate Houses

The Ron Clark Academy House System uses the four original Houses — Altruismo, Amistad, Isibindi, and Rêveur. However, we recognize that some schools or districts may wish to use an alternate name for the House of Amistad, and want to be inclusive of that need. We have created an alternate House that can be used in its place, the House of Amistades, which literally translates “friendships” in Spanish. All of the other cheers, traditions, and hand signals are the same, but the crest and all of the other House assets are updated to reflect the change of the name.

If your school or district wants to use this alternate House name, you can download all of the alternate House assets below:
