Moeller High School's rich history and vibrant spirit come to life as we welcome Jason Niehaus, our esteemed Moeller alum from the class of 1993. Now stepping up as the third president of Moeller High School, Jason brings a profound connection to the institution that shaped him. Join us as Jason shares heartwarming memories of growing up with Moeller football games as a family tradition, and the deep, familial atmosphere that has always been a cornerstone of the Moeller experience. Jason’s passion and vision for Moeller set a promising direction for the school’s future, with initiatives designed to foster unity and engagement across the community.
Jason's remarkable journey from an aspiring athlete to a dedicated leader in healthcare and pastoral ministries illustrates the unexpected paths life can take. A sports injury in his youth redirected his ambitions away from baseball, leading him to discover a calling in service, which began with volunteering in a retirement home. His return to Moeller in a leadership role brings his story full circle, honoring his father’s legacy and embracing the transformative influence of seemingly small experiences from his high school years. Through Jason's narrative, we explore the profound impact of embracing one's calling and the lifelong pursuit of helping others.
The episode also highlights exciting and inspiring stories from the Moeller community, including the incredible achievements of a young national weightlifting champion who embodies the diverse talents nurtured at Moeller. We discuss innovative projects like the installation of a live camera in the Mary courtyard, inviting alumni to reconnect with their alma mater. Jason shares his vision for creating an inclusive environment that supports students, faculty, and alumni in achieving their best. Tune in to experience the dynamic growth and enduring legacy of Moeller High School, as Jason Niehaus leads with dedication and a deep respect for tradition.
