I graduated from Mercy Academy. It actually wasn't my first choice of high school (long story--I only attended Mercy for my junior and senior years.), but I am happy it ended up being my last.
Mercy has continued to grow and change for the positive since I graduated. Opened by the Sisters of Mercy, they have a rich, faith-based tradition of education young women. (It's a all girls Catholic school.) The faculty is very devoted. The school moved to it's current location in 2007, and it is truly state of the art. That kind of tradition mixed with amazing facilities, plus fantastic people (faculty, staff, students, alumnae), really make Mercy the very special place it is.
As an alumna now, I am so proud of my alma mater and am happy to continue to support it. Mercy Academy even was just recently nationally certified as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) school--the first in Kentucky and the first all-girl school in the nation!! In my previous job, I had the opportunity to regularly work with Mercy girls and staff, and I was constantly impressed.
If you're researching high schools in Louisville, I can't say enough great things about Mercy! Go Jags! read more
