Being a student at Mercy has changed my life. I've learned so much and have experienced things I never thought I would. The school has helped me build my networking skills to prepare me for college and for the workforce. The extracurricular activities and the clubs are amazing and I enjoyed joining them. I wouldn't change except for a healthier and nutritious menu for the students at lunch. Other than that Mercy is the school you want to go to.

I was disapointed in what I saw after visiting. I was under the impression that the programs were more usable in todays world. Sorry but I will keep looking for a place to send my son next year!
