Student Government

Student government gives the young women of Mercy High School an opportunity to strengthen the skills they already have, discover new ones, and inspire their fellow students to join them in many kinds of events and activities throughout the year. Student government is a form of public service in the true spirit of Christian servant leadership. As a student leader, you will have mentors to support and challenge you, and you will share ideas with student leaders of other schools. Student Council members receive a grade for their performance, participation, and growth each semester (except for freshmen, who do not receive a grade during their first semester).

As a member of Mercy student government, you will learn:

• Public speaking
• Time management
• Team work
• Collaboration with people beyond your circle of friends
• How to be comfortable in a variety of social and public situations
• Present formal proposals to teachers and administrators for improvements in the school and student life

The responsibilities and opportunities you gain from being an elected leader at Mercy High School will prepare you for many aspects of your future academic and professional life.
