Celebrations!!!
Proms
The last weekend in April saw both the Juniors and Seniors
dressed in gowns and enjoying their respective proms. The pictures from these two events are superb
and I am told that both proms were wonderful with all having great fun.

“May Crowning”
One of the first events that signify the beginning of the
graduation season for our Seniors is the May Crowning. It is a wonderful ceremony which honors Our
Lady where the seniors bring young friends or relatives to help with the
celebration. This year’s May Crowning
took place on the last day of April with pictures being worth a thousand words,
it was a great day!
Mother-Daughter Mass and Breakfast
On Sunday, May 3rd Fr. Greg Galvin presided at
the Mother Daughter Mass which was followed by Breakfast in the cafeteria. This event is always quite enjoyable and an
opportunity for mothers and daughters to spend some special time together.
Art Show and Spring Concert
We have a number of talented young women who excel in the
visual and performing arts. In the
Spring we are able to feature their accomplishments with an Art Show and Spring
Concert. The Art Show was successful and
our hallways were filled with exhibits of great quality work. We also were able to appreciate the hard work
of our young women who excel in music at our Spring Concert held during the
second week of May.
Class of 2015 Activities
We really enjoyed the Senior events that occurred during the
month of May. They are designed to
transition a class from current students of Mercy to active alumnae. The class of 2015 participated fully in all
activities and I know we will continue to see them as they return for many
visits!
May 15 was the last day of classes for Seniors and it begins
with the traditional breakfast in the parking lot!
Next, was class night where all enjoyed an appetizing meal,
watched a slide show and laughed at the many superlatives! This class went above and beyond by
surprising Sr. Mary with a class gift to the Capital Campaign of $10,000!! What a wonderful way to remain a part of
Mercy High School into the future!
All activities culminated with the Baccalaureate Mass and
then Graduation. The Class of 2015 is
quite accomplished having earned over $7 million in scholarships.
