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.
