Mount Mercy Academy

 

Mercy Education System of the Americas (MESA)

 

    

Mount Mercy Academy is a sponsored ministry of the Institute of
the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas and is a member of Mercy Education.

 

This program was established in July 2017. Mercy now belongs to an education system with 49 other Mercy education ministries, including schools in Argentina, Belize, Guam, Honduras, Jamaica, the Philippines and the United States.

The development of the Mercy Education System of the Americas has been a five year process.  The foundation of the entire system is the establishment of relationships between Mercy educators in the seven countries sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy.  These relationships will allow educators to share resources and their best practices as they continue to prepare their students for an accelerated culture and a truly global society.  In addition, the system will ensure that Mercy educators will continue to share Mercy values and a Catholic identity well into the future. 

This opportunity will allow the faculty at Mount Mercy Academy to "more proactively access-and contribute to - the wealth of knowledge, talent and resources that Mercy education has to offer."

 

Michele Melligan, Head of School at Mount Mercy Academy states "It is truly a blessing to be part of the Mercy Education Systems of America.  The organization provides endless opportunities that await and align with our core mission and values.   While governed under MESA, Mount Mercy Academy is provided with the guidance and support necessary to lead us in establishing and accomplishing action steps towards new and innovative ideals of education.   We look forward to building upon what MESA has to offer in conjunction with our goals for the future in education, programs and fostering the critical concerns of Catherine McAuley."

"We must strive to do ordinary things extraordinarily well."

"Mount Mercy has positively changed my life forever. Through the inviting community, I was able to grow as a woman, as a daughter, as a friend, and as a member of society. Throughout my time here I have gained an education in both academic areas and life in general through the school's ongoing efforts to educate students on gender inequality, racial injustice, and environmental crisis'. Furthermore, Mercy has given me the space to gain confidence that 4 years ago I never would have guessed I would have. Mount Mercy has helped me take that initial step toward becoming the strong woman of color I am today. At Mercy you are more than just a student, you are whoever you wish to be."

"My future, success, and the ability to be an empowered woman in society come from Mount Mercy. My school is a strong foundation for my role in life. From attending Mount Mercy, I can say with confidence, that I will graduate with the mindset that I can accomplish anything. Mercy is my home and my sanctuary to be whoever I want. Mount Mercy has been bringing forth generations of strong intellectual women into the world, and I am more than honored to be one of them. Mercy teaches girls more than academics, but also about the world around us. As a mercy community, we give back to the world because it is our home. From my four years at Mercy, I have been educated on pushing for equality and peace and the understanding that there is no limit to what I can do. I have the confidence to go out in the world and make a difference because being a Mercy girl has given me that opportunity. "

"Mercy is more than just a school. Mercy is my second home and a shoulder to lean on. Mount Mercy has given me the confidence and resources to pursue my passions and make the world a more inclusive place, propelling me to take strides into male-dominated fields. Mercy blessed me with an environment to grow intellectually and in the community, giving me the foundation to make a tangible impact while making lifelong friendships."
