ZEHLER
BRO. ZEHLER: CINCINNATI PIONEER
Zehler House is named for Bro. Maximin Zehler who in 1852 was named brother superior of Saint Mary's School for Boys in downtown Cincinnati. Bro. Zehler's vision and leadership in the all-boys school laid the foundation for the great Cincinnati Catholic high schools. Saint Mary's was the first all-boys Catholic school in Cincinnati.
"It is an honor to have our school associated with them and the Old Saint Mary's Church," said Bruce Nelson, the founding Zehler House dean. "The church honors Mary, our Mother, and has many historical connections to all the founding Catholic leaders in Cincinnati. May the Zehler House uphold this rich Catholic tradition, honor Mary, and blaze the trail, just as Bro. Zehler and his parishioners of Old Saint Mary's did in its beginning."
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.
