When a student comes into Mercy, she joins a class of young women her age who experience and learn the Mercy traditions alongside of her. These classmates play an integral role in her time at Mercy, but we also know that nurturing relationships across the entire student-body and with faculty and staff members is equally as important for experiencing Mercy to its fullest. 

Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 25-60 minutes is dedicated for house time. During this time, students will gather with their houses to complete various activities that fall under one of four identified categories: education, competition, student business or wellness.  House time will help students build relationships, school spirit and community, while also growing and strengthening their leadership skills as well as maintaining Mercy’s long history of traditions.   

Each house consists of randomly placed freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, faculty and staff members and is named after a strong force in our foundress, Catherine McAuley’s, life.

Six Houses. One Community. We are Mercy Academy.
