Mercy is a wonderful place to learn and grow as an independent, strong woman. The spirit of Mercy is something intangible that you have to experience to fully understand but it fosters a sense of community and connection that forever binds Mercy girls together. The faculty and staff are amazing people who truly care about building relationships with their students and helping them reach their full potential. The same sex classes and uniforms remove a huge amount of social pressure to “fit in” or “dress cool” and allows girls to focus on their education, sports and other activities. If I could go back to Mercy I would in a heartbeat!
As parents, we are pleased and happy that our daughter spent her four years of high school at Mercy. She grew, learned, and made beautiful connections within a caring community. The school provided her with a solid academic curriculum, competitive sports program, a variety of clubs, and a strong sense of social responsibility through the school’s participation in community service activities. Her preparation and involvement helped her being accepted into multiple college programs with the opportunity to continue her participation in sports and diverse scholastic activities. We appreciate all the support from its teachers, staff, and coaches. We highly recommend Mercy High School!
Fifteen years ago at the ripe age of 13, I made the choice to better my education, and Mercy was at the top of my list. This to date was the best decision I have made in my life. Mercy was more than just a high school, it was a community of classmates that became sisters, and teachers who continue to be there and mentor us way past graduation. Even after all these years, I am always running into people in my life who went to Mercy and it is so much fun to reminisce on all the good old times. Mercy was such a positive impact on my life that I have found myself back on the same lacrosse field where I once played as the coach. The best part of coaching at Mercy is hearing my players talk about events that I still remember doing when I was there. They love hearing that I had the same teacher or how my grade won Cake-A-Thon. At Mercy, you will always find a place to be yourself and it is highly encouraged, you might wear the same uniform but there are many ways for you to be yourself!
