House System
In 2005, Moeller instituted a house system. There are six houses: Zaragoza, Zehler, Eveslage, Quiroga, Pillar, and Trinity. Each house name has something to do with the Marianist order. The six houses are also divided into mentor groups, which is like a homeroom class, consisting of about twenty students, five from each grade. This allows interaction and mentoring between grades.
The six houses also compete every year in areas such as grades, detentions, service, sports, and competitions such as the Crusader Games, which includes: sack races, jousting, and dodgeball.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or system:
“As the House is designed to provide a reflection of the mood of the moment, the Senate is meant to reflect the continuity of the past—to preserve the delicate balance of justice between the majority’s whims and the minority’s rights.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.”
—Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)
