Welcome and welcome back to all parents and guardians!

Soon administration, faculty, staff and students will be off to a good start!

We appreciate your cooperation with the start of school.

I invite you to look at our website. Check the “What's Going On at Mercy" section for messages and information. Scroll down for all the messages. The calendar on the web will be the most up-to-date. Check "What's New at mercy" for some information on new teachers and new students. Come to www.mercyvocational.org often.

See you at one of the parent orientation nights. Thank you for taking time out of your day to show your sons or daughters that you pledge to work with school and support their education. I trust that you will find the time profitable. You will meet our dedicated educators and understand the programs at Mercy.

Thank you for entrusting your children to our care. We promise to work with you and are grateful for the partnership we will continue to form with you on behalf of your children/our students.
