Sister Michelle Carroll, RSM greets Mercy girls on the day Mercy High School opened in 1960.

Sister Michelle Carroll Learning Services Program

Named for Mercy High School’s visionary founding principal, the Sister Michelle Carroll Learning Services Program supports Mercy Girls as they access Mercy’s rigorous college preparatory academic program. This program offers Mercy Girls with documented learning differences or mild to moderate language-based learning disabilities a highly personalized program in a challenging and inclusive academic setting, preparing them to be successful and confident learners in high school, college, and beyond. The highly experienced learning specialists create an individual support plan for each student that formalizes the student’s accommodations and is based on her full educational-psychological evaluation. Mercy Girls in this program develop organization, note-taking skills, time management, self-advocacy, and study strategies to become more confident as they take ownership of their learning.

The Sister Michelle Carroll Learning Services Program offers two distinct levels of support for Mercy Girls. The learning specialists assess each student’s progress regularly and evaluate their needs on an annual basis. Additional fees apply for students enrolled in this program. Incoming families must indicate their interest in the program and submit additional materials to the program director.
