My experience at Mercy Academy has been a blessing. I struggled with confidence in middle school and I have now earned all of it back and more. The students, teachers, and administration are all so welcoming and really care about you and your success.

Mercy Academy has taught how to be an independent and confident young woman, how to survive with all of the hate in the world, and taught me to also be there for others and let others to be there for us. I have built many great and memorable relationships here and wouldn't change them for the world. I truly believe if I had gone to any other high school, I would have not learned the same values because Mercy academy is rooted in great faith and is always out there helping the immunity and giving to the students, whether its financial aid or donuts . This school has taught me well and has prepared me for my net steps in my life.

Mercy is an excellent high school. When I started college I was far more advanced than most of my peers. Mercy taught me how to think critically, which is the most valuable skill of my life. Mercy teaches girls how to be women of Mercy everyday. The environment is safe, the teachers are friendly and...
