Edgewood offers three named awards. Selection for each award is competitive and applicants must meet the outlined criteria.

Edgewood Dominican Houses

Five Houses. One Edgewood.

The goal of the EHS House System is to give each student on campus a place where they are embraced by their fellow House members while building a deeper relationship with their fellow students and to provide opportunities for growth, leadership, and engagement. Each House, named after one of the five Sinsinawa Dominican Values - Truth, Compassion, Justice, Community & Partnership - has an identifiable color, saint, motto and crest. Freshmen and new students are inducted into a House in the fall. Once assigned, students remain in their House for life. Siblings are placed in the same House, creating a lasting legacy that can span generations.
