Giving

Welcome!

The Advancement Office is a vital hub connecting Mercy High School with its alumnae, parents, donors, and the broader community. Our primary purpose is cultivating relationships and securing resources to support Mercy’s mission, vision, and strategic goals. By focusing on four key areas, the Advancement Office strives to foster a strong foundation for sustainable development and progress.

  • Fundraising and Development:

    The Advancement Office is pivotal in raising funds to support various programs and initiatives. These funds are essential for providing scholarships, upgrading facilities, investing in technology, and supporting extracurricular activities, among other critical projects. The office coordinates fundraising campaigns, alumnae giving programs, and philanthropic partnerships to ensure Mercy High School has the resources to offer the best possible education to its students.
  • Alumnae Engagement:

    Cultivating strong relationships with alumnae is essential for fostering community and pride in Mercy High School. The Advancement Office organizes reunions, networking events, and mentorship programs to keep alumnae connected to Mercy High School and to harness their valuable expertise and experience. Engaged alumnae often become lifelong supporters and advocates for Mercy High School, positively impacting recruitment and overall reputation.
  • Parent Relations:

    The Advancement Office strives to build positive and collaborative relationships with parents and guardians. Communication and involvement opportunities create a strong partnership between Mercy High School and families, engaging parents in their significant role in supporting various school initiatives and enriching the educational experience for all students.
  • Community Outreach:

    Establishing a positive, visible presence in the local community is crucial for Mercy’s success. The Advancement Office coordinates outreach programs, partnerships with local organizations, and community events to strengthen ties and demonstrate Mercy High School’s commitment to being a responsible and caring community member.
The Advancement Office is a fundamental component of Mercy High School’s success. By strategically engaging with alumnae, parents, donors, and the community, we hope to secure the necessary resources to provide an exceptional learning environment for our Mercy Girls and further our mission as a leading educational institution.

We remain committed to working closely with the entire school community to drive growth, excellence, and a bright future for our Mercy Girls!
