In cooperation with the Sisters of Mercy, the home and the community, Mercy High School seeks to provide an educational environment where young women can achieve their whole potential. In offering its students a college preparatory curriculum, Mercy fosters intellectual growth and creative expression and provides the tools for the acquisition of knowledge. Through the program at Mercy, students also develop attitudes and fundamental skills upon which they will base their continuing education and involvement in society. Supported by a Catholic Christian environment that emphasizes personal responsibility and service to society, Mercy also offers each student opportunities and experiences to mature in her own religious faith. Mercy recognizes the obligation to respect and preserve the goods of the earth for the sustenance and enjoyment of future generations.
Mercy acknowledges the special role of women in all aspects of life in an ever-changing world.
