Reminder: Students are expected to dress professionally in uniform and in free dress, with proper appearance at all times. Dyeing the entire head of hair an unnatural color is not allowed, but one, one-inch colored streak is permitted. Students should have their hair within dress code by the first day of classes Aug. 19th. Please see the Student and Parent Handbook on our website. Email Coach RG with questions. Click HERE for Mercy's Uniform information.
Summer Book Clubs will meet the morning of Aug. 18 instead of later in the month, as originally planned. Exact details will be sent in August. Summer Book Clubs were determined before the end of the year for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Incoming freshmen and transfer students were given the opportunity to join a book club, but are not required to. Other community-building activities will take place for freshmen and transfer students who are not in book clubs.
Welcome to the 2020-21 School Year! We are looking forward to getting to know each of you and for you to get to know one another. We want to engage all parents this year - virtually or, when possible, in person. We invite you to take a few minutes to complete this survey about your interests to help us get to know you. Don't hesitate to reach out at any time!
