Pearl Necklace Delivery Delay
As you may know, it is Mercy tradition for each Graduate to receive a pearl necklace to wear at Commencement. We regret to inform you that unfortunately, the delivery of the pearl necklaces and matching optional pearl earring and bracelet sets has been delayed due to the Shanghai lockdown. We received notification that the pearls are still waiting to be shipped out and it is unlikely they will be received prior to Graduation. We will keep you apprised of when we receive them and when they will be available for pick up at Mercy HS. Thank you for your understanding and patience!
We honor, recognize and congratulate our outstanding Mercy students for an extraordinary 2021-22 school year! You make Mercy shine and are women who make a difference. View Honors Slideshow here.
Graduation Gown
In order to participate in the graduation ceremony, every student must have her white graduation gown approved by Dr. Kreger no later than Graduation practice on June 2. Graduation gown requirement letter can be found here. If you haven't already done so, please send a picture of the front and back of the dress, or preferably a picture of the graduate wearing the dress, to cdkreger@mhsmi.org or mmwojcik@mhsmi.org.
