Catholic. Marianist. Forming our Students into Remarkable Men.

MOELLER ADMINISTRATION

As a Moeller graduate, I consider it a true privilege to walk alongside our young men as they grow in faith, confidence, and brotherhood. Every student who comes through these doors is known, valued, and challenged to become the best version of himself. My commitment is to ensure that each Man of Moeller graduates ready to lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and make a difference in the world.

I am a lifelong learner. While pursuing my doctorate in education, I enjoyed collaborating with educators and thought leaders from across the globe. Here at Moeller, we are blessed with innovative, passionate teachers. I enjoy collaborating with them to promote a 21st century learning environment for our students.

What I love about Moeller is the commitment that everyone has to our shared mission of forming our students into remarkable men. From the teachers, coaches, and parents, we all recognize the impact that these four years have on students for the rest of their lives. As principal, I look forward each day to seeing the growth in our students. I’m so proud of the work we do as we send our seniors out into the world at the end of their four years.

Christine Brookbank, EdD

REALearning: Moeller’s Educational Philosophy

RELATIONAL:

Young men thrive in learning environments that foster genuine, trusting relationships with their teachers. In Reaching Boys, Teaching Boys, authors Michael Reichert and Richard Hawley state that “boys experience their teachers before they experience the lessons they teach.” Additionally, they cite research suggesting that “the formal curriculum may tend to be the ‘main game’ in the teaching of girls. For boys… that is but one narrative in the classroom; running parallel or in conflict is the relational narrative.” The Moeller Family is dedicated to forming each Man of Moeller. Our faculty members recognize that acquisition of knowledge and skills is intricately connected to an understanding of the young men they are teaching. Our nationally-recognized House System provides time in our class schedule for students to meet with their mentor group and mentor teacher every day for four years. And, each year, our students participate in retreats, deepening their relationship with God, peers and their teachers.

EXPERIENTIAL:

Young men learn when they are active, immersed and interested in their classroom material. Decades of research on the best instructional methods for young men guide our design of learning environments for young men to thrive. Our remodeled classrooms provide a flexible learning environment for students to take ownership of their learning. Our 90-minute block classes provide time for collaboration, inquiry, and exploration. Learning also extends beyond the classroom walls; we offer global immersion experiences and service learning projects for students to apply their learning in and out of the classroom. Our students discover their passions and accomplish their goals throughout their years at Moeller.

LAUTHENTIC:

Young men thrive in an environment that is connected to their interests and career aspirations. At Moeller, a young man’s education is customized and tailored to him. Because we offer over 50 electives and over 30 Advanced Placement (AP) and College Credit Plus (CCP) classes, students can personalize their education to foster their intellectual curiosity and enhance their college and career aspirations. Students may also enroll in a mixture of leveled classes depending on their particular strengths in subject areas.

INTENTIONAL CURRICULUM AND REAL-WORLD ENGAGEMENT

The Burns Innovation Hub is designed to help Moeller students discover and develop their unique passions. Rooted in our educational philosophy of REALearning— Relational. Experiential. Authentic—the Hub blends intentionally designed classrooms with a hands-on curriculum that sparks creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. In our dynamic, project-based courses, students explore real-world challenges, gain exposure to potential career paths, and develop the skills and mindsets that prepare them for lifelong success. More than a building, the Hub is a place where ideas come alive—where students are encouraged to think differently, learn through trial and iteration, and are empowered to become confident, adaptive changemakers ready to tackle the challenges of the future.

Unique courses include: Intro to AI, Art & Pop Culture, Design + Build, Design Thinking, Entrepreneurship, Human-Computer Interaction, Investment Research Honors, Podcasting, and REALab Business.

MULTIMEDIA RECORDING STUDIO

Our podcasting and video production studio allows students from across the school to engage in the full process of media and journalism, from scripting, filming, editing, and producing, using state-of-the-art video and audio recording technology. This space supports unique and original student productions, the integration of presentations and recording into traditional courses.

INVESTMENT RESEARCH LAB

In the Investment Research Lab, students manage the Mercalde Family StudentRun Endowment—the largest high school student-run endowment in the country— using top-of-market software. Students apply research and analysis skills, collaborate, and propose investment strategies to a professional board of advisors—gaining confidence and communication skills along the way.

“Portfolio Management Honors certainly helped me realize my talent in business and analytical thinking. I also strengthened my presentation skills by presenting stocks to the advisory board and talking through it with my team. I believe taking this course will have a great impact on my college career as I move on from Moeller.” Jake Bell ’25

PITCH ROOM

A formal space where students gain experience with professional communication and networking: meeting with industry leaders, pitching unique solutions to professionals, and participating in seminar-style classes.

ART STUDIO AND KILN

ENTREPRENEURSHIP STUDIO

Inspired by many startup offices, this studio provides comfortable space to inspire creativity, as well as co-working tables to enable “business partners” to effectively work together on innovative business solutions. At the core, though, students learn to see themselves as capable, entrepreneurial thinkers.

“What I like about the entrepreneurship course is that it changed how I think. Instead of just being annoyed by something, I am starting to see it as a problem that I am able to do something about.” Matthew Kleiner ’25

An expanded creative space, this studio allows students to explore design thinking in action in 2D and 3D projects, including ceramics, further enhancing Moeller’s award-winning art program.

“My 3D Art, Sculpture and Design class has helped me unlock some new art skills that I would never have found without it. I also liked how this course pushed me to think outside the box— doing a lot of problem solving.” Alexander Aloutto ’25

DESIGN + BUILD LAB

Technology-enhanced, flexible lab that enables students to explore interdisciplinary problems, and design and build dynamic solutions. Students gain experience with additive and subtractive fabrication tools, such as laser cutter, CNC router and 3D printers, to engineer prototypes to solve complex challenges through design thinking.

“Design + Build has taught me about persistence and confidence in trusting the process even when I got frustrated when things wouldn’t work out for some reason. It showed me that I have the ability to understand something when I put my mind to it, especially when it’s new.” Luis Marshall ’25

STUDENT-RUN BUSINESS

Moeller’s Student-Run Business gives students real-world experience in design, finance, marketing, and customer service as they manage every aspect of our apparel company— from meeting with clients and pitching ideas to creating designs, invoicing, outsourcing, and sales. In October, the team produced and sold more than 150 pink and navy shirts to raise awareness for breast cancer, donating proceeds to Pink Ribbon Good—a reflection of their commitment to purposeful business leadership.

SET UP FOR SUCCESS: STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

One of the pillars of the Marianist charism is inclusivity. We believe in a discipleship of equals. We believe all humans are created in the image and likeness of God, and we work to be inclusive of all kinds of people embracing diversity as an expression of our humanity.

Moeller’s strong commitment to offering a college preparatory education in the Marianist tradition to young men with learning differences is exhibited in our robust Student Support Services program. Founded in 2004, our students services department supports students with learning differences. It is another way we continue to live our Mission—Catholic. Marianist. Forming our Students into Remarkable Men.

documented disabilities. This course helps students develop the skills necessary for academic success. Emphasis is on self-awareness of individual learning strengths and weaknesses, goal setting, organization, time management, application of learning strategies, test preparation skills, and specific strategies necessary for the college transition process.

“Academic Development has given me access to resources that allow me to use my time wisely and more productively. The teachers in this program have been amazing for the help they’ve given me throughout my high school career.”

Christian Harris ’26

Students with documented disabilities are provided many opportunities to develop their academic potential through collaborative support services and accommodations so that they can develop an understanding of their strengths, limitations, and learning styles and develop and bridge new skills and strategies across the curriculum. The Academic Development course is designed to provide support services in a resource room environment for students with

Four intervention specialists work with students to provide specialized instruction and help them succeed in the college preparatory curriculum. Additionally, we have a speech pathologist, a school psychologist, a testing coordinator and a math specialist to assist students, monitor progress and provide support. With this program as their foundation, students participate in all levels of college preparatory classes and meet the same academic and graduation requirements as their classmates. The Chaminade Learning Center, home to Student Services, has both classrooms and offices providing an increased level of collaboration, ultimately increasing the already high level of dedication the team gives to the students.

EVERY DAY, REMARKABLE

Each day at Moeller, our teachers and students embody the Marianist spirit of faith, community, and service. Their work goes beyond grades and goals—it’s about forming character, pursuing truth, and using one’s gifts to make a difference. The following stories highlight just a few of the remarkable ways the Men of Moeller and their mentors bring that mission to life.

GLOBAL LEARNING. LIFELONG ADVANTAGE.

Since 2018, Moeller has awarded more than 100 Seals of Biliteracy in seven languages—French, German, Latin, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Italian— recognizing exceptional proficiency valued by colleges and employers worldwide. Students who study a world language for four or more years are honored for their dedication, leadership, and global perspective, wearing special honor cords at graduation. Fourth-year students can earn the prestigious Seal of Biliteracy and up to 14 college credits through AP exams, distinguishing themselves as globally minded learners prepared for life beyond the classroom.

“My experience learning German, including earning a Seal of Biliteracy, will help me as I apply for college and enter the workforce. I am likely to receive better scholarship packages, and I will have an edge over other college and job applicants. Having learned German also opens the door for me to work for German companies, as I will be prepared to encounter and use the language. I am very glad I made the decision to take four years of a world language.” Callen Lay ’26

REAL earning IN ACTION: USING STATISTICS TO MAKE A CASE FOR THE HALL OF FAME

Moeller students used advanced statistical tools to build a compelling case for Bengals legend Ken Anderson to be nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. By comparing Anderson’s career performance to that of 12 Hall of Fame quarterbacks—each measured against the top players of their own eras—students discovered that Anderson consistently ranked among the elite. Because football has evolved dramatically over the last 40 years, this historical context was key to their analysis. When the final results were shared with Anderson, he expressed his gratitude for the students’ thoughtful and data-driven work. Beyond this group project, students also conducted individual analyses, exploring topics that connected math to their personal interests:

Bengals Performance Trends: The team has been notably streaky in the second half of the season over the past six years.

LeBron James Impact: Teams led by LeBron perform significantly worse when he’s not on the court.

Reds Interleague Play: The 2025 Reds have done slightly better against American League opponents, though not significantly so.

Moeller Baseball Analytics: The 2013 Moeller team won 4.5% more games than expected based on Pythagorean win projections—best of all Moeller teams since 2012.

These projects show how Moeller students don’t just learn math—they use it to understand the world around them, developing analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills that prepare them for college and beyond.

Chaminade Global Scholars Capstone Director

GUIDING MEN OF MOELLER TO LEAD WITH EMPATHY AND TRUTH

During her 22 years of teaching English, Mrs. Ocariz has demonstrated unwavering dedication not only to advancing her students’ English and literary proficiency but also to nurturing their integrity, resilience, and personal growth. In 2022, the Ohio Department of Education awarded her with the Excellence in Teaching Diversity Award. In keeping with her dedication to teaching her students about upstanders through literature, Mrs. Ocariz (along with only 44 teachers across the country) earned the Auschwitz Legacy Fellowship through the AuschwitzBirkenau Memorial Foundation. Over the next six months, she will deepen her expertise on the Holocaust to effectively and meaningfully educate her Moeller students, equipping them with a stronger understanding of its historical significance and enduring impact.

AUTHENTIC RESEARCH AND UNMATCHED LEARNING

The Molecular Biology Research Class (MBRC) exemplifies REALearning at Moeller—where curiosity meets discovery. In this advanced, hands-on course, students conduct original research using the Biochemistry Authentic Scientific Inquiry Laboratory curriculum. Each student is assigned a protein with a known structure but unknown function. Through computational modeling, protein expression, purification, and enzyme assays, they work to uncover its purpose—culminating in a professional research poster presentation. Along the way, students develop leadership and collaboration skills, learning that in science, progress often grows from persistence as much as success. The “Eureka moment” they experience is real—and worth every step of the journey.

“In MBRC, we didn’t just learn science—we lived it. Every failure, every success, every stopwatch countdown taught me how to think, adapt, and lead.” Kyle Borgemenke ’26

Teagan Cumberland ’26

A PLACE TO LIVE FAITH

At Moeller, Campus Ministry gives students the opportunity to put their faith into action—serving others, deepening their spiritual lives, and growing as men of character. Through retreats, service programs, and leadership roles, students discover that faith is something to be lived, not just learned. For senior Teagan Cumberland, that’s what makes Campus Ministry so meaningful. As a Eucharistic Minister, member of the Campus Ministry Executive Board, and participant in Little Buddies, Teagan has found a home where his faith guides his daily life. Whether he’s leading prayer or helping organize all-school Mass, he’s learned that living the Marianist charism means using his gifts to serve others and strengthen the Moeller Family.

Kyle Borgemenke ’26

PLATINUM PERFORMANCE

Earning AP School Platinum Status places Moeller among the nation’s top academic institutions recognized by the College Board for both access and achievement in Advanced Placement coursework. Moeller was the only all-boys, Catholic school in the state of Ohio to earn this achievement. This highest-tier honor signifies that at least 80% of a graduating class took one or more AP exams, 50% earned a score of 3 or higher (qualifying for college credit), and 15% completed five or more AP exams—a testament to Moeller’s commitment to academic excellence and student success.

FROM WALL STREET TO EL SALVADOR: MOELLER STUDENT’S CAPSTONE SPARKS GLOBAL CHANGE

When senior Brock Grubert stepped into his Investment Research Honors class, he never imagined it would lead him to launch a fund changing lives in El Salvador. Through his Chaminade Global Scholars capstone project, Brock turned classroom theory into global impact. Inspired by lessons on valuation and markets, he created The Arete Growth Fund—a sustainable investment initiative supporting Programa Velasco, which empowers women entrepreneurs through microloans and mentorship. What began as a goal to raise $10,000 has grown to more than $12,000, generating ongoing returns to reinvest in new small businesses. By blending design, finance, marketing, and purpose, Brock’s project exemplifies how Moeller students use their education to make lasting, real-world change.

“My goal was to prove that finance can be more than numbers— it can change lives. Seeing women in El Salvador grow their businesses and support their families showed me what real impact looks like.”

Brock Grubert ’26

VICTORY WITH A HEART

At Moeller, the true measure of victory goes beyond the scoreboard—it’s found in how we love, serve, and lift one another. Moeller Football Victory Day embodied that spirit as children with special needs became Crusaders for the day, taking the field as football stars and cheerleaders alongside our players and coaches. From running through the tunnel and scoring touchdowns to celebrating with our cheer team and student body, every moment radiated pure joy and authentic connection. The event reflected the heart of Moeller’s Marianist charism—building community, embracing all with respect and dignity, and finding Christ in every person. Victory Day wasn’t just a football event; it was a living expression of what it means to be a Man of Moeller—one who leads with compassion, celebrates others’ gifts, and recognizes that every person is part of God’s team.

EDUCATIONAL TRAVEL: New Environments, Challenges and Perspectives

The educational travel opportunities at Moeller are a true manifestation of REALearning. Students actively live their learning, with the world as their classroom. Educational travel fosters personal growth by exposing individuals to new environments, challenges, and perspectives to better nurture lifelong skills like curiosity, adaptability, and cultural sensitivity. Our purpose-driven trips cultivate meaningful relationships through shared experiences and collaborative learning, promoting teamwork, empathy, and effective communication skills. These opportunities embody experiential learning, allowing students to apply knowledge in real-world contexts, while making lifelong memories. We offer trips ranging from a few nights up to five weeks, with a variety of focuses, destinations, and experiences—so there is something for everyone.

Domestic and international trips combine travel with structured learning experiences to enhance knowledge and cultural understanding.

VARSITY SINGERS

“Being part of the newly-formed Varsity Singers has been one of the most profound and rewarding experiences of my high school years. As a four-year member of the chorus, I’ve witnessed the growth and evolution of the vocal music program firsthand. Watching the development of my own voice—as well as the voices of my classmates—has brought me excitement, fulfillment, and joy.

Whether performing at a school Mass, a concert, or an off-campus event, I’ve gained countless lessons about what it truly means to be not just a singer, but a performer. These experiences have extended the excellence of a Moeller education beyond the classroom, providing practical, real-world learning.” –George Pavloff ’26

CAMPUS MINISTRY: FAITH. SERVICE. COMMUNITY.

Moeller Campus Ministry serves students, faculty and staff in deepening their faith. It provides opportunities to serve the community locally, regionally, and globally along with liturgies, retreats, prayer experiences, and pastoral care.

Educating for service, justice, peace, and the integrity of creation is one of the Characteristics of Marianist Education. At Moeller, the spirit of Christian service is evident in the number of programs offered to the students both during the school year and over the summer.

Campus Ministry works directly toward Moeller’s Mission— Catholic. Marianist. Forming our Students into Remarkable Men. Over 30,000 hours of service in the community, Kairos retreats, and daily prayer opportunities are a few ways Moeller students develop into young men of character and faith.

“Service has completely transformed the way I see myself and my role in the world—it’s no longer just about helping others, but about leadership, responsibility, and love. Through experiences like St. Vincent de Paul and the Appalachian Retreat, I’ve learned that small acts of service can create lasting change and shape who you become.” Jose Sanchez Alvarado ’26

THE HOUSE SYSTEM: DEFINING FAMILY SPIRIT

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.

Inspired by a student exchange to Australia, this innovative system fosters leadership, brotherhood, and personal growth. Rooted in the Marianist tradition, the House System is designed to support all aspects of student life, ensuring every student feels connected and empowered. 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.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM MOELLER

Moeller Academic Merit Scholarships

Moeller awards academic merit scholarships based upon review of grade school records and High School Placement Test (HSPT) scores. These four-year awards are non-need based and auto-renew annually. To apply, take the HSPT on November 22, complete the Moeller application, and provide school records by November 24.

Tuition Grants and Named Scholarships

Moeller awards need-based tuition assistance with donations generously gifted by alumni, past/current parents and friends of Moeller. Families complete an application via FACTS, a third-party independent company that conducts a financial assessment to determine financial need.

To be considered for financial aid through Moeller, families of incoming freshman must complete the FACTS application linked in their MoeAccess checklist. Families with a complete FACTS application will receive their offer and estimated EdChoice Scholarship value in their acceptance packet in January. Award letters will be available online through your MoeAccess account as well.

An increase in EdChoice funding from the initial estimated amount in the acceptance letter may result in lowered assistance from Moeller. Each account is evaluated to ensure funding can be best distributed among all eligible students.

PRO TIP

Completing FACTS, EdChoice applications, and Income Verification promptly and annually prioritizes your financial award each year. Incomplete applications or material financial changes may result in changes to financial aid.
