Mission Statement

Mercy Vocational High School is a private, urban vocational high school sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy.

The school’s mission is to provide a Catholic education to those students whose educational and career goals are best served by a quality, comprehensive academic/vocational secondary school program.

Students acquire marketable skills to enter immediately into their career vocation or to pursue post-secondary education. As a school community we seek to live the Gospel in word and action. We place the highest priority on the spiritual and moral development of our students and their service to others.

1. We believe that every individual has inherent worth and dignity.
2. We believe that moral and spiritual development is absolutely essential.
3. We believe that our students are blessed with gifts that are better served through vocational education.
4. We believe that risk taking is essential for school improvement.
5. We believe that within a culturally diverse environment we can build tolerance, respect, and understanding.
6. We believe that life-long learning is a shared responsibility of students, teachers, family, and community.
7. We believe that all students are an investment in the future.
8. We believe that we are called to serve others.
