A Day in the Life of a Mercy Girl
On your Shadow Day you will experience firsthand the connection, confidence, and compassion that make Mercy such a special place to spend your high school years. We require all applicants to participate in a Shadow Day as part of the admissions process so that you can explore and meet the people who will shape your Mercy journey.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Mercy, to know you, to see you in our hallways, and to help you imagine yourself as part of our community.
Spending a Shadow Day is the best way to experience what life as a Mercy girl feels like. You will experience the energy and curiosity in the classrooms, the laughter in the hallways, and the compassion that defines our sisterhood.
During your visit, you’ll tour our beautiful 38-acre campus, attend classes alongside current students, meet our dedicated teachers and coaches, and enjoy a complimentary lunch in our cafeteria.
