Dear Students,
On behalf of Mercy Faculty & Staff, we welcome you to the 2022-23 school year! We are grateful that you are a part of the Mercy family and we are filled with joy and energy to walk with you in the path of this year's many adventures.
We send an especially warm welcome to our freshman class and the eight students transferring from other schools! The excellent new faculty and staff joining Mercy this year include: Mrs. Julia Cilona (Spanish), alumna and former Mercy teacher Mrs. Abha Dearing ‘92 (Performing Arts), Ms. Ebonne English (AMES), Mrs. Kristen Hames (English), Mrs. Colleen Kogut (Admissions) and alumna Mrs. J’aime Law ‘00 (Advancement). Ms. Joelle Williams (Security) returns as a full time Mercy HS employee. We thank you for warmly welcoming them to the Mercy family!
We have many new campus updates to share with you, including: renovated locker room, air conditioning in five additional classrooms, new windows, HEPA air filters, Media Center circulation desk, art studio cabinetry and counters, Athletic Hall of Fame display and more! We are very thankful to our faithful donors who made many of these capital improvements possible.
Please encourage your parents/guardians to attend Parent Night on Thursday, September 1 at 6:15pm. The evening offers a unique glimpse into your daily Mercy experience. They will have the opportunity to walk through your schedule and meet each of your teachers as they learn more about your classes.
We continually work to align our academic, spiritual and extracurricular programming to the core values and attributes defined within the Mercy Education Profile of a Graduate. Returning students will soon receive a Strategic Planning Survey. We encourage your participation to ensure your voice is heard as we review the input to best align our future programs with our most important stakeholder - our fabulous Mercy students!
Fr. Patrick Brennan CP, our part time Chaplain, will celebrate Mass with us as we open the school year on Wednesday, August 24. Fr. Brennan will welcome all students for the first day of classes and bless the Senior Class of 2023.
We are proud to work and pray in partnership with you as we continue to offer each student experiences to enrich your academic, spiritual and self-understanding. Wishing you the best for a new Mercy school year!
May God's grace and blessings be in your path,
Dr. Cheryl Delaney Kreger ‘66
President
Mrs. Patricia Sattler
Principal
