Welcome to E-LEARNING for the 2020-21 school year. Please take the time to read this email as it gives information regarding Attendance Policies for the next few weeks. Your daily online presence in all classes is imperative during the time we are all virtual. Being virtual gives you the opportunity to attend your classes when you may have otherwise not been able to attend in-person. You should not be using a cold/other minor illnesses, traveling, etc. as an excuse to not attend school.

Loretta Vogel remembers when she first saw Julia Bishop. 

The Mercy head volleyball coach watched a St. Sebastian eighth grader with soft hands and a presence as an athlete.

Julia Bishop is Miss Volleyball for 2020 — but if she had her way, she’d change the title to "Miss Team Volleyball."

Please be advised due to the current state mandate and remote only learning schedule, we find it necessary to postpone the Focus: HOPE Food Drive. Campus Ministry is working to coordinate with Focus: HOPE for a later date. Please do not drop off donations to Mercy at this time. You may hold onto any items purchased or donate to another food pantry. Stay tuned for further information. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding!

Quiz Bowl participated in two national tournaments. On November 14, Mercy competed in their first-ever National Literature Challenge. The team of Caitlyn Begosa '22, Caitlin Condon '23, Carly Madden '22, Caroline Turco '23 finished in 6th place nationally!

November 15, 2020

This evening Governor Whitmer announced a new order from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services that tightens resident restrictions in an effort to control the current COVID-19 surge. One of the restrictions is for all high schools throughout the state to return to a remote learning model for the next 3 weeks. There will temporarily be no in-person instruction.

As we enter into this season of thanks, one of the ways that Mercy High School expresses gratitude is by giving back to the community. For decades we have been an important partner to Focus: HOPE in their efforts to serve the poor and the elderly in the Metro Detroit area. In previous years, we have filled at least half of a semi-tractor-trailer with food collected by our students! Focus: HOPE provides assistance to roughly 41,000 low income seniors every year through monthly food assistance, health screenings and so much more.
