Mercy Seniors "Go the Mile"

In June, leaders and members of the new senior class participated in Go The Mile, an overnight experience designed at St. Joseph College, West Hartford, to prepare them to be the leaders in their school. During Go The Mile, the seniors wrote the mission statement that will guide them as leaders during the coming school year.

Student Leaders' Mission Statement - Class of 2011

As the Class of 2011, we will dedicate ourselves to encourage every member of the community to join in the Spirit of Mercy. We will recognize the strength and leadership of women. We will do our best to promote the individuality of others as we encourage them to express themselves in their own way. Mercy will continue to be a comfortable, welcoming environment focused on respecting the dignity of every person. We will push each other to go the extra mile and follow in the footsteps of Catherine McAuley. The backgrounds of our Catholic teachings inspire us to dedicate time and service to bettering the global community. We, as the Class of 2011, will leave an imprint and pass on a legacy for all future classes to follow.
