Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year

Dear Mercy Family,

On behalf of Mercy Faculty & Staff, we welcome you to the 2024-25 school year! We are grateful for your choice of a Mercy education for your daughter(s) and are filled with joy and energy to walk with you in the path of this year's many adventures. 

We send an especially warm welcome to our Freshman Class of 2028 and the five students transferring from other schools. The excellent new staff joining Mercy this year include Kristena Stachura who is returning to the English Department, Liz Vallespir who is joining the World Language team and Melissa Kreger who will support our Reception Area. All bring great expertise, warmth, and their excitement for supporting our Mercy students.

There are many new campus updates to share with you! We are very thankful to our faithful donors who made these improvements possible and extremely appreciative to our incredible facilities team who have worked over the summer to ensure that our school shines.

• N13 lecture hall remodel and technology transformation transforms into our new M-HUB (work in progress with a late September completion date)
• West courtyard windows replaced
• Replaced sidelights at 10 entrances and safety glass upgrades at key locations
• HVAC control system for the whole building upgraded
• Video surveillance upgrades
• Parking lot maintenance included concrete repair on the west lot and concrete around the building and in front of the Gym/Auditorium Lobby
• Gym lighting upgraded
• Installed new cabling and phone system for the building
• New audio control desk and audio mixer for the Auditorium
• New floor tile in Visual Arts classrooms

Fr. Lorn Snow S.J., Pastor of Gesu Parish, will celebrate Mass with us as we open the school year on Wednesday, August 21. All parents/guardians are invited! Fr. Snow will welcome all students for the first day of classes and bless the Senior Class of 2025. 

On Wednesday, all classes will meet and there will be no unscheduled hours. As a reminder the Cafeteria is closed during Adviser Group, so we recommend students bring lunch.

Save the date for Parent Night on Wednesday, August 28 at 6:15pm. The evening offers a unique glimpse into your daughter's daily Mercy experience. You will have the opportunity to walk through her schedule and meet each of her teachers as they share their course plans with you. More evening details are forthcoming. 

We are proud to work and pray in partnership with you as we continue to offer each student experiences to enrich their academic, spiritual and extracurricular programming to the Core Values and attributes defined within the Mercy Education Profile of the Mercy Graduate. Wishing you the best for a new Mercy school year!

May God's grace and blessings be in your path, 

Dr. Cheryl Delaney Kreger '66
