Why Mercy?

Mercy students are part of a more than 90 year tradition of inspiring young women to achieve great things. Here, a girl occupies every role: every seat on student council, every position on a team, every club leadership role. Each day, our students see young women learning, growing and achieving — and take advantage of the myriad of opportunities to do the same. At Mercy, young women are known, challenged and transformed.

Be Known

Ariana Montiel ‘22 - Go Ari! She has signed her letter of commitment to play Division I Softball at Howard University. Ari has started all four years at Mercy and has proven to be a pivotal teammate and leader on the field. She is excited to continue her athletic career as part of the Howard University Bison.

Be Challenged

Science students engage through laboratory investigations, discussion, and collaboration. Science Teacher Nick Lendaris shared that, “The goal of our skeletal system lab was for students to leave with a holistic understanding of how the frame of their own human body is constituted.”

Be Transformed

March is an exciting time as Seniors are starting to hear back with their college admissions. Mercy graduates have been accepted to colleges and universities across the United States and abroad. Mercy’s Class of 2021 (116 students) were offered over $14.5 million in scholarships.
