CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF MERCY
2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Mercy High School! Since opening its doors in 1945, Mercy has been committed to inspiring, educating, and empowering young women. Over the years, we’ve built a Catholic legacy of academic excellence, personal growth and leadership, with generations of Mercy women who have gone on to make a difference in the world. This 80th anniversary is a celebration of our past, present, and future - a time to reflect on the journey we’ve taken and look ahead to the many possibilities to come. It’s a moment to honor our faith, our tradition, our community, and our values that continue to guide us. We’re excited to celebrate this momentous occasion with all of you.
Throughout the year, you’ll see our special 80th anniversary logo featured prominently. We’ll also roll out a series of initiatives and events to mark this milestone—including a grand celebration reunion October 18, 2025! This will be a wonderful party for all of us to reconnect, reflect, and rejoice in the Mercy legacy that has shaped so many lives. Stay connected for more details throughout the year about the various ways you can be involved.
Thank you for all you do to make Mercy High School extraordinary. Here's to the next 80 years of inspiring and empowering the young women of Mercy!
