Mercy McAuley High School

We had a great time this week with our Golf Campers, who joined our varsity golf coaches and players for three days of learning and fun at Meadow Links Golf Academy! Campers focused on the fundamentals of pitching, chipping, putting, and full swing, and then played nine holes on the last day! Thanks to all who joined us!

Thanks to all who joined us for our summer Art Camps, led by art teacher Mrs. Natalie Fischer! First-third graders enjoyed a "3-D Under the Sea" camp, where they researched different types of fish and their habitats, created a sculpture based on their research, then glazed, painted and assembled their fish and habitat display! Fourth - eighth graders enjoyed a Drawing Camp, where they explored a variety of materials and techniques to create their own still life drawing. At the end of both camps, a mini art show was held for the campers to display their artwork for parents and family members!

This week, our award-winning theatre Wolves are working hard on stage and back stage in a one-week theatre experience, as they bring "The Spongebob Musical: Youth Edition" to life! Shows are THIS SATURDAY, June 13, at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are just $5 and can be purchased online at mercymcauley.ludus.com or at the door! The show is approximately one hour long! All are welcome!

Thanks to all the future Wolves who joined us for our Basketball Camp this week, led by Assistant Athletic Director Dan Wallace! Special thanks also to our current basketball Wolves and alumnae who helped with the camp! Our campers learned new skills, made friends, and had tons of fun!

Congratulations to all our students named to the Honor Roll for the 2nd semester of the 2025-26 school year! We are so proud of these Wolves for their commitment to academic excellence! See the full list of Honor Roll students at www.mercymcauley.org/honorroll.

Congratulations to Track & Field Wolves Alaynah Crawford, Lailah Shepard, Haley Murphy and Lily Davis on their 4th place finish at the 4x400m State Championship Final, with a season-best time of 3:57.07!

This is the second consecutive year where these four athletes left the State Meet as podium finishers, becoming the first sprinters in program history to earn medals in back-to-back State Championships!

This is our SIXTH STRAIGHT State Championship meet appearance for the program!

What an incredible season for our Track & Field team and coaches! Way to go, Wolves!

Thank you to all who joined us this past Friday at Pebble Creek Golf Course for our annual Wolves Classic Golf Outing!

The second half of our travel group’s trip to Italy included an additional day in Florence, where they had some free time to explore the city! Some visited the Academia and saw the statue of David, others crossed the river and went to the rose gardens, while others explored the city and visited the Uffizi Gallery. After leaving Florence, they visited St. Francis Basilica in Assisi, as well as the resting place of St. Carlo Acutis, on their way to Rome. While in Rome, they visited the Trevi Fountain, enjoyed a walking tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forums, and explored Piazza Navona. They also enjoyed a walking tour of the gardens at Castel Gandolfo (the Pope’s summer home), toured the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, and visited St. Peter’s Basilica. They ended the trip perfectly with lots of gelato! Thank you to our travel coordinator, Mrs. Lisa Heiert, and all the chaperones, students and travelers for a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime trip! 🧡
