About Mercy High School:

Mercy High School, established in 1945, is a single gender private preparatory school located in Farmington Hills, Michigan. The school's lengthy history began in 1945 when the Sisters of Mercy opened Our Lady of Mercy High School at Outer Drive and Southfield Roads in Detroit. The Sisters of Mercy established the school to offer young women the opportunity to receive a value-centered education in an environment of academic excellence. As enrollment grew, Mercy relocated to a new and larger building in Farmington Hills in 1965. Mercy is proud of its 17,000+ alumnae throughout the world who are now making a difference. The student body is made up of young women from over 70 metropolitan Detroit communities. Participating in the Michigan High School Athletic Association Class A athletics, Mercy offers more than 22 sport programs to its students. The athletic trainer will complete approximately 900 hours of coverage at Mercy High School annually, with the bulk of the hours occurring during the school year.
