2018 ANNUAL REPORT

Careers Start Here

Dear Friends, I am pleased to report on our students’ accomplishments during the 2017-18 school year at Mercy Career & Technical High School, achievements that would have been impossible without the support of you and the many other donors listed in these pages. With 95% of students requiring financial aid to attend Mercy, you are truly partners in preparing our students for the workforce, post- secondary education, or a combination of both. The Class of 2018 was Mercy’s first class to graduate with e-portfolios, a Google site that allows students to document their work over their four years in high school. The e-portfolio program has expanded to become a senior capstone project that students present to the school community in the spring as a requirement for graduation. Mercy’s virtual reality lab opened in the spring of 2018 thanks in part to generous support from Merck, The 25th Century Foundation, and the Helen D. Groome Beatty Trust, administered by BNY Mellon Wealth Management. The VR Lab provides experiential learning using immersive virtual reality. Our biology teacher piloted the use of the VR lab with her sophomore class and found significant improvement in student comprehension of the subject matter as compared to previous classes. This year, additional academic and career classes are using the VR Lab to enhance learning including Health Occupations, Social Studies, and Health. Mercy’s goal is to remain the best career and technical high school in the Philadelphia region, graduating students who are highly competent, compassionate, contributing members of the global community. We must ensure that Mercy graduates have the skills that will allow them to advance on their chosen career paths today and into the future. In service of that goal, Trustees and school leadership took part in an intensive strategic planning process led by Dr. Clyde Hornberger, former director of Lehigh Career and Technical Institute and a nationally recognized expert in career and technical education. Dr. Hornberger evaluated Mercy’s academic offerings and career and technical programs and made recommendations. As a result of the strategic planning process, the Board of Trustees approved five strategic goals: • Conduct a facilities study leading to a new and improved school facility • Expand corporate partnerships • Evolve the curriculum to meet the needs and abilities of the Mercy CTE student • Offer career and technical programs for high priority occupations • Continue to look for financial efficiencies I look forward to sharing our progress toward these goals as we implement the strategic plan. As always, your support will be key to our success.

Thank you for all that you do to benefit our students. We truly value your partnership.

Sincerely,

Sister Rosemary Herron, RSM President
