President’s Welcome

Welcome to Mercy High School, an International Baccalaureate World School offering a Catholic, college preparatory education for girls that is inspired and sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy. At Mercy, girls are empowered to lead, learn, and serve with confidence and heart. We are thrilled to welcome you into a community that embraces the values of excellence, hospitality, service, justice, and compassion—the foundation of a Mercy education.

 

At Mercy, we believe deeply in the transformative power of an all-girls education. The International Coalition of Girls Schools has documented the impressive research on the many advantages of girls schools! Mercy’s leadership team of accomplished and caring woman leaders has created an environment designed to support our students’ success. Our Mercy Girls are encouraged to take risks, develop their voices, and pursue their passions without limitations. Our exceptional teacher mentors and accomplished alumnae role models inspire girls to achieve excellence in the classroom, pursue leadership roles across campus, and prepare for the world beyond high school. Indeed, research shows that graduates of girls' schools achieve higher academic success, develop stronger leadership skills, and enter college and careers with greater confidence.

 

Mercy’s rigorous academic program is made meaningful by a deep commitment to spirituality, service, and justice. Inspired by the legacy of Catherine McAuley, our students engage in meaningful service projects, advocate for social change, and develop a deep commitment to making the world a better place. Whether volunteering in the community, leading initiatives for equity, or standing up for those in need, Mercy Girls learn that leadership is rooted in compassion and action.

 

We also believe in the power of hospitality—creating a welcoming and inclusive space where every Mercy Girl feels known, cherished, and loved. At Mercy, friendships are formed—for life, ideas are shared, and students lift each other up. Whether excelling in science, performing on stage, competing in athletics, or leading student clubs, our Mercy Girls find their voices and their purpose.

 

Mercy’s unique traditions, sisterhood and community speak to us at a time when research shows how loneliness and isolation are hurting our adolescents. We believe that a Mercy education brings us together in a community of caring during a critical time in a young girl’s life.

I invite you to learn more about our exceptional Mercy community through our website and by visiting our campus. I hope you will experience firsthand the Magic of Mercy!
