Mercy High School is a Catholic college preparatory school for young women. Traditions include an enriched curriculum that has enabled 99% of Mercy graduates to attend colleges or universities after graduation. The student body is made up of young women from over 60 metropolitan Detroit communities. This broad, inclusive base provides Mercy with a rich, multi-ethnic constituency from diverse, socio-economic backgrounds. The common thread among staff, students and parents is a commitment to academic excellence and the integration of Mercy Values into daily life.

Recognized nationally as an Exemplary Private School by the United States Department of Education and the Council for American Private Education, Mercy has been accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools since 1951.
