Mercy Vocational High School recognizes that taking part in social
activities, participating in athletic events, and giving service to
the community are important ingredients in a student's overall
development. That's why Mercy students are offered a menu of
activities from which to choose. Those with an appetite for
the arts sing in the Choral Group, join the Mercy Drummers, or
work on the award-winning yearbook, The Advocate.
Service to others is also an important part of the Mercy experience.
Many students participate in Community Service Corps activities -
providing tutoring, working with the homeless, beautifying
neighborhoods, and visiting nursing homes. The recipient of
the United Way of Philadelphia's Volunteer Organization of
the Year award, Mercy has a record of community involvement
well recognized.
Rounding out the Mercy experience are special school-wide events
including Mercy Day, Open House, Christmas Pageant, Vocational
Education Week, and Awards Day as well as special celebrations
such as Ring Day and school proms. Producing well-rounded young
men and women who are as self-confident in the social or athletic
setting as they are in the workplace is what continues to set
apart Mercy Vocational High School.
