Mission Statement
As a department, we are committed to promoting student self-awareness and growth by addressing the academic, personal, social and emotional concerns of all Mercy students. We do this in collaboration with parents, teachers, and administration embracing the mission and philosophy of Our Lady of Mercy High School.
Department
Our team of counselors works with each student individually to help her realize her goals and maximize the opportunities that are available at Mercy High School. Students are encouraged to volunteer and explore career interests to promote self-awareness. Your daughter's involvement in all aspects of the Mercy experience will make her high school years happy and productive.
With college preparation as one of our primary objectives, the counseling department offers a developmental approach that is aimed at increased self-awareness and informed decision-making. As you browse through our site, you will find multiple links and resources to help with the college application process. The counseling office handles course registration, PSAT and PLAN administration, student accommodations and both academic and personal counseling (referrals to outside professions will be provided when necessary).
Throughout the school year, the counseling department will offer classroom seminars to students, events such as Freshman Social, Junior & Senior Parent Nights, Financial Aid Night & College Fairs.
