ZARAGOZA HOUSE: CELEBRATING FR. CHAMINADE
Zaragoza, Spain, is the place where Blessed William Joseph Chaminade spent his time in exile from France. While there, he had a vision of Mary at Our Lady of the Pillar Church, a moment that profoundly shaped his mission. This vision inspired him to establish the Society of Mary, the Marianists, whose values continue to guide Moeller High School today.
The teachings of Fr. Chaminade fuel the direction and philosophy of both Moeller High School and Zaragoza House, calling us to live with faith, service, and resilience. Every time we say the name Zaragoza House, we honor his legacy, embracing his vision of community, leadership, and unwavering devotion to Mary.
THE HOUSE SYSTEM
Moeller’s nationally recognized House System transforms student governance into a vibrant, tight-knit community. Since 2005, students from all four grades have been united into Houses, each with mentor groups led by dedicated teachers and student captains.
Each student is guided by at least three significant adults—a house dean, mentor teacher, and counselor—who monitor and support his academic, social, and spiritual growth. The system strengthens relationships between students and faculty, fosters a strong sense of community, and provides leadership opportunities for all students.
