COUNSELING
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 and teachers, keeping in mind the mission and philosophy of Our Lady of Mercy High School.
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. We've provided several useful links below that will help with the college application process.
