COVID-19 Response

Beginning in March 2020, Mercy High School created a task force to oversee our response to the coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 Response Team—trustees, faculty, staff, and other experts—led by the Steering Committee, strategically guides the efforts of our additional teams, and ensures completion of any action items necessary to ensure the safe reopening of Mercy High School. The Steering Committee regularly receives guidance from our Public Health Resource Group, which comprises alumnae who work in the field of public health.

In addition, Mercy High School is attuned to the recommendations of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other local, state, and federal agencies.

Our Steering Committee is assisted by the following teams.

Finance, Legal, and Personnel Team
Online Teaching and Learning Team
Facilities, Health, and Safety Team
Enrollment Management Team
Fundraising Team
Spirituality and Wellness Team

The COVID-19 Response Team is working diligently to ensure the health and safety of every Mercy Girl and her family. Our most recent reopening update was released on September 25, 2020.
