Dear Mercy Community,
After careful consideration, we are pleased to announce the members of the Mercy
CORE (Council on Racial Equity) Steering Committee. Mercy CORE was formed to build awareness, solutions and leadership for anti-racist, anti-biased structures, policies and practices at Mercy High School.
We asked you, our Mercy Community, to be involved and the response exceeded our expectations. Thank you to all the extraordinary applicants and congratulations to the 2020-21 CORE Steering Committee members!

The CORE Steering Committee will work closely with the Board of Trustees and Administration and build the framework to move forward and create impactful ways of engaging all stakeholders and allies of Mercy. Members will meet at the end of July to outline and structure the CORE Subcommittee descriptions. The CORE Subcommittee application will be released in August.
We look forward to this important work and vision of Mercy CORE "
that e
mpowers all members of the Mercy community to maximize their individual potential in an inclusive, anti-racist and anti-oppressive environment."
