At Mount Saint Mary Academy, students are encouraged to become women of Mercy, living by the core values: Compelled by Mercy, Educational Courage, Inspired by Faith, Principled Leadership, and A Voice For Dignity and Respect. These values are a way of life at the Mount informing everything from liturgies to the overall sense of hospitality and friendship. School masses, class retreats, and campus-wide service days are among the many opportunities for students to embrace their faith life. The Mount's young women are driven to make positive contributions to society and live lives of integrity and purpose.
