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:
“Our law very often reminds one of those outskirts of cities where you cannot for a long time tell how the streets come to wind about in so capricious and serpent-like a manner. At last it strikes you that they grew up, house by house, on the devious tracks of the old green lanes; and if you follow on to the existing fields, you may often find the change half complete.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“We are now going through a period of demolition. In morals, in social life, in politics, in medicine, and in religion there is a universal upturning of foundations. But the day of reconstruction seems to be looming, and now the grand question is: Are there any sure and universal principles that will evolve a harmonious system in which we shall all agree?”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
