Core Values
Mercy High School is a sponsored ministry of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas and is a member of Mercy Education. Mercy Education is the umbrella organization of 54 schools in six countries.
Our Core Values are the hallmarks of a Mercy Education. These are the ideals we stand up for and strive to live up to. We hold ourselves to these standards as an institution, as a community and as individuals.
Each value is interconnected and necessary as we take Mercy into the world.
