Extracurriculars
Mercy offers many extracurriculars to choose from. There is a fall drama, a spring musical, and a Children's Theatre production. Students may lead the school through Student Council or Campus Ministry Board. Mercy is home to the Catherine McAuley chapter of the National Honor Society, as well as groups that volunteer with inner city children and elder Sisters of Mercy. FOCUS emphasizes diversity, and students can join Spanish Club or Francofilles, the French Club. Youth and Government, Mock Trial and DECA all give students real life skills in practice settings. Robotics, Masterminds and Math League test students' knowledge, while Veritas (the yearbook), The Quill (the newspaper), and Mercedes (the literary magazine) give students a creative outlet. Students can join the Ski Club, Run Club, or Boxing Club. Habitat for Humanity and Friends of Rachel help students get involved with the community both in and outside of school. Improv Club, Water Club, and Dress-a-Girl are some of the newer options for students. There is also a choir, a show choir and an orchestra for the musically inclined.
