Sr. Mary Victorine Rapin, RSM Giving Society

Sister Victorine was the first Assistant Principal of Mercy from 1946-1951 and she was appointed Principal in 1952. During her 17 years as Principal, Mercy High School expanded from 125 to 1,300 students and outgrew its location, prompting the move to its current site in Farmington Hills. Under Sister Victorine's guidance, the school developed a tradition of excellence in academic discipline. She initiated several customs that have become hallmarks of the school, including the graduation ceremony with white gowns and red roses. In 2002, Sister Victorine was inducted into Mercy High School's Hall of Fame where she was recognized for outstanding leadership in administration and for being the guiding force for the 'old' and the 'new' Mercy High School.
