When I attended Mercy, it felt like a second home. In all honesty, the school isn't much to look at, but this place gave me some of the best memories and experiences I could have asked for from a high school. I've heard from my friends in college that high school was not an experience they'd relive. I can't relate. I had so many opportunities from this small school. I had the pleasure of being apart of the student council, volleyball, basketball, softball, football, cheer, theater, and being apart of a few clubs, one to which I ran. Mercy was very accommodating to let us pursue our interests. During my senior year, I took on a lot of extracurricular activities. There was so much I wanted to be apart of and it felt like there wasn't enough time, and the time that I did have was flying by too quickly. The friendships you make here and the relationships you have with the faculty just make this place better. The whole faculty and staff want each individual to succeed. They will go above and beyond to try to make that happen. I received a lot of one-on-one time with my teachers when my grades were slipping just so I can still participate in sports, they knew how important it was to me. "Don't judge a book by its cover" has never been more fitting for this educational establishment. At the end of my high school career the memories I have to look back on are not in the classroom but of my friends laughing in the gymnasium at our principal, teachers, and staff participating in the fun during our pep rallies. The curtain falling after each performance. Parents and faculty going wild for our wins, and everything else in between. Mercy is a place where everyone knows and supports each other. If you want to go to a school get it over and done with, Mercy isn't right for you. But if you do want to take the next step to find yourself, make memories, try new things, make lost lasting friendships then ENROLL. read more

Our four boys went to Mercy Catholic High School. Teenage boys don't always think their studies are the most exciting thing in their lives, but the teachers at Mercy encouraged and guided them. Our boys were active in extra curricular activities, including elected office, sports, drama, and volunteering in the community. They developed in every area and learned to see themselves as being capable. When they graduated from Mercy all four went to college and three of them went on to graduate school. One of them is a military officer. Mercy gave them experiences academically and in activities which enabled them to expand their horizons, take risks in a safe environment and experience success. Their experiences at Mercy gave them the ability to contribute both professionally and personally to their families, communities and country for the rest of their lives. read more

This high school is a hidden gem of the North State. My 3 daughters have graduated here in the last 7 years. The teachers are all-in for the students. With a low student-teacher ratio, students are personally known to all staff and peers. Individualized academic aid is never out of reach. Each of my children felt well prepared for college and even received at least a semester's worth of college AP credits having passed several AP exams. All students have an opportunity to participate in many extra-curricular activities and sports. The school allows every interested student to be a member of any athletic team. Mercy High graduates well rounded, compassionate, future community leaders, capable of entry into any university they strive for. If you are looking for a safe, small high school setting, where everyone is someone, this is the place for you! read more

It's been a few years since I graduated (2013), but Mercy still has that family feel all around. The classroom sizes are much smaller than what you might find in public school- which really helps with the attention each students receive from their teachers. I really enjoyed the opportunity to play any sport, regardless of experience; the same can be said for the theater program as well! Overall, Mercy allows students to be extremely involved in college prep courses, extracurricular activities and the community in a balanced way that prepares you for the challenges that students may face at a university. read more

I graduated from Mercy in 2012, and went on to attend Santa Clara University where I earned two degrees: a B.S. in Commerce and a B.A. in Music. I felt exceedingly prepared for the college workload coming from Mercy, where many of us had participated in a variety of academic and extracurricular activities. I was engaged in student government, volleyball, theater performance, basketball, clubs, and community service, all while maintaining a healthy GPA with the support of caring faculty and staff. I can't imagine a high school experience more full and exciting than the one I received from Mercy. read more
