With nearly 60 years of expertise educating girls, Mercy High School works to cultivate compassion, confidence, inquisitiveness, spirituality, open-mindedness, and more — the many qualities that make a Mercy Girl. With those touchstones, a Mercy Girl will successfully navigate the challenges and rewards of personal and professional opportunities available to women in today’s dynamic society.
Kadey, Emily, and Rashawna are well into their journeys from the uncertainty of freshmen year to the strength and confidence that emerge in sophomore, junior, and senior years. Like the inspirational lines of the school’s alma mater in the entry hall, the pins on each girl’s blazer capture the spirit of Mercy and its unique mission of helping their students grow from Mercy Girls to Women of Mercy.
Junior Kadey proudly wears her badge from Mercy’s highly selective Women in Medicine program in partnership with Mercy Medical Center. This year, Kadey will shadow with a physician mentor, demonstrating her commitment to exploring the field of dermatology.
Sophomore Rashawna was recognized by her faculty advisor for the respect she shows for others and wears pins acknowledging scholastic achievement in algebra and science. She earned a position as a student ambassador and member of the pep squad and radiated her school spirit and pride when cheering on her classmates and speaking to prospective families.
Junior Emily proudly wears leadership pins representing her service on her class steering committee. A JV soccer player, enthusiastic thespian, and a recent participant in an international leadership conference for the global network of Mercy schools, Emily truly embodies the values signified by her “well-rounded” pin. She also shares the Mercy experience with her mother, two aunts, and a grandfather who coached softball.
Being a Mercy Girl has always meant a commitment to spiritual growth, service to others, academic inquiry, and pride in your school. Each of these accomplished girls reflects many aspects of this mission and the promise of its continuation in the future. Open house at Mercy is October 19, 2019.
