Mercy High School is a private and independent Catholic high school for young women sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy and is located within the Archdiocese of Baltimore on a 26-acre campus at 1300 East Northern Parkway in Baltimore, Maryland. It is the only Catholic girls' school in Baltimore City with playing fields onsite.{{cn|date=September 2017}}

Overview

Founded in 1960, Mercy High School is located on a 26-acre campus in Northeast Baltimore. Opened at the request of the Archbishop of Baltimore who saw a need for a large, modern, centrally located Catholic high school for girls, Mercy High School was established in anticipation of the entrance of the first wave of baby boomers born in 1946. More than 300 students entered Mercy as freshmen in 1960. Today, students from more than 64 zip codes throughout Central Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania attend Mercy.

Accreditation and Sponsorship

Mercy is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Independent Maryland & DC Schools and has been named an Exemplary Private School by the United States Department of Education and the Council for American Private Education. The school is a member of the Association of Independent Maryland & DC Schools (AIMS) and the Mercy Education System of the Americas (MESA), the network of schools under the auspices of the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas.[2]

Athletics

The Mercy Magic compete in the Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association (IAAM).[3] The varsity lacrosse team won the IAAM "B" Conference Championships in spring 2017, defeating Friends School of Baltimore. Mercy's school colors are red and white. A magician and rabbit serve as mascots.

Mercy's longest sports rivalry is with the Institute of Notre Dame (IND), a Catholic girls' high school sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, which is also located in Baltimore City. Each year since 1961 the two schools' basketball teams have played in a match-up known to fans simply as "The Game." It is the most well-attended high school girls' sporting event in the state of Maryland. As of 2018,the series stands at Mercy 30, IND 22.
