Mercy is one of the last all-girls high schools in San Francisco next to Convent of the Sacred Heart and ICA Cristo Rey Academy. The main reason for the closure was being unable to reach financial needs and stability. There are multiple reasons why reaching financial stability was impossible, such as a decrease in enrollment over the past two decades, financial aid promised to the students always falls short $5,000 of actual costs, and operating costs, including salaries, and the need to meet the needs of faculty and staff, according to Mercy Communications. “The lack of stable financial support has hurt the school’s ability to meet the financial needs of families seeking a Catholic high school education at Mercy,” according to Mercy Communications. There have been multiple attempts and ideas explored, Photo by Sophia Carrasquilla ’22, Mercy SF but no solution could properly get the school to financial stability. Please see “Mercy,” Mercy High School on 19th Avenue in San Francisco announced in continued on page 4 January that it will close its doors in June, after nearly seven decades. 2 Opinion The Crusader February 2020 Archbishop Riordan High School School spirit soars as sports teams triumph The Crusader Staff Editorial For the last several years, large crowd like this has become happening. attendance at Riordan sporting more typical.
