Dear Mercy Community,

As we enter a season of reflection and anticipation, I want to take a moment to thank you for your steadfast commitment to Mercy High School. Your support uplifts our mission and empowers our students, embodying the spirit that defines our Mercy family.

Because of you, we continue the vital work of educating young women who go on to make a lasting difference. I warmly invite you to join us in the new year for our upcoming events and activities, celebrating together the impact of our shared mission.

Please know you are always in our thoughts and prayers. May this season bring you peace, love, and the grace of renewal.

In Mercy,

Dr. Cheryl Delaney Kreger '66
