The House System was instituted at Chaminade-Madonna out of our community's desire to grow in faith and family spirit. The challenge is to build family spirit that transcends class division so that we can develop our minds, hearts, bodies, and souls together as a Marianist community. The House System compliments 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." The coveted House of the Year Cup is awarded to the House that best exemplifies their commitment to the C-M Mission.
