Thank you, Erie, for recognizing Mercyhurst Preparatory School as the Best Private School in the area. We are honored by your trust and committed to excellence in learning, faith formation, and living the Mercy Charism every day.

For a century, Mercyhurst Preparatory School has stood as a beacon of faith, learning, and service. Rooted in the vision of the Sisters of Mercy, our mission has always been to nurture students academically and spiritually, empowering them to lead lives of purpose and compassion. From our earliest days to today, Mercy values have guided generations—shaping a community that is inclusive, innovative, and deeply committed to excellence.

As we enter our 100th year, we honor the legacy that brought us here while embracing the future with bold vision. Our centennial celebration is more than a milestone; it’s a promise to continue inspiring hearts and minds for the next century. Read more about our 100th anniversary.

The Pennsylvania Student Assistance Program (SAP) is designed to help students thrive both in and out of the classroom. Through a collaborative team approach, SAP works to identify concerns that may be impacting a student’s well-being, behavior, or academic performance and helps connect students and families with appropriate support and resources.
