Mercy would like to welcome Pia Crosby as a member of the counseling team from January to June 2019. Mrs. Crosby, a licensed marriage and family therapist, joins Mercy during Mrs. O'Sullivan's maternity leave. She holds a master's degree in clinical psychology and marital family therapy from Notre Dame de Namur, and she has had many years of experience working with students in schools and in clinical settings.

We wish Mrs. O'Sullivan and her family a healthy and happy maternity leave as they welcome their second daughter. Mrs. Crosby's email address is pcrosby@mercyhsb.com, and you can reach her at (650) 762-1142. All sophomores and seniors will have Mrs. Crosby as their counselor in spring semester.

The number of U.S. high school seniors who are vaping has more than doubled in the last year, and 1.3 million teens are using tobacco. You can read more on the news HERE. We want to work together to keep our girls safe!
