CSS Faculty Votes on House Names

After much deliberation and discussion, the CSS-MSE faculty has arrived at the names of the "Houses" for the incoming 6th grade class.   Houses are named to honor heroes of knowledge, whose stories exemplify a lived commitment  to the pursuit of truth, beauty, and human progress.  Houses of 32 students travel together through their core classes and their seven years at CSS-MSE. 

The incoming class of 2015 will be divided into the following houses:

Carson:  Named after Rachel Carson, naturalist, author, and catalyst of the modern environmentalist movement.

Gaudi: Named after Antoni Plàcid Guillem Gaudí i Cornet, reknowned Catalan (an autonomous region of Spain) architect whose unique work has had profound influence on modern building and design.

Curie: Named after Marie Curie, a pioneer in the field of radioactivity, the only person honored with Nobel Prizes in two different sciences (Chemistry and Physics), and the first female professor at the University of Paris.

The houses of the class of 2016 will be named after Hypatia, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein.
