The House System

The House System complements the formal system of classroom education by organizing students into small groups to develop leadership skills and foster the Marianist commitment to community.

Each House is named to honor an individual who significantly influenced the school community we enjoy today. Each House has students from each grade level organized into small mentor groups. A House Dean and Faculty Mentors provide structured opportunities for students to practice leadership and fellowship. Along with academics, athletics, student service and Campus Ministry, the House System embodies Chaminade-Madonna's commitment to the heart and soul, as well as the mind and body working Toward a Better World.
