Dear Mercy Family,
We are grateful to each of you for choosing and valuing the Catholic educational opportunities and programs that Mercy High School offers your daughter. Our tuition supports a mission driven set of goals and we remain committed to Mercy’s tradition of educating young women in the Catholic faith and in the spirit of the Sisters of Mercy.
Each year, the Finance Committee and Board of Trustees are very prudent in establishing the tuition rate for the next school year. To continue to provide an excellent Mercy experience, the 2023-2024 tuition has been set at $15,730. This is a 5% increase over last year. The registration fee of $100, activity fee of $250 and graduation fee of $300 remain unchanged.
Fundraising efforts, over and above tuition revenue, allow us to update the building, improve programs, provide financial assistance and ensure the sustainability of the school. We depend on benefactors to make a Mercy education possible at a time when the world needs our women with their strong values, leadership and faith. We ask parents to help Mercy by participating in fundraising, volunteering and being mercy ambassadors. In turn, the staff and administration will continue to work diligently to keep costs down without compromising the excellence of a Mercy education.
Enrollment agreements for current students will be available February 10, 2023. Please complete the enrollment forms along with your deposit by March 31, 2023 to ensure the best programs and elective offerings for your daughter. We encourage any family who may need assistance to apply for financial aid. We have endowed scholarships and additional funds received from donors available for tuition assistance. Visit mhsmi.org/admissions/financial-aid for information. Applications for financial aid are due April 30, 2023.
We realize that families sacrifice financially to send their daughters to Mercy and we are assured by parents many times over that it is the best investment they have made. May the blessings of the Lord be upon you.
In Mercy,
Dr. Cheryl Delaney Kreger '66
President
Mrs. Patricia Sattler
