These pro-Mercy posters seem kind of desperate to change their tarnished reputation.

Not bad for a very small schools...
That's only cause these high schools have a quota to fill with all the parochial schools including OLOM. My public school son is outperforming your OLOM alumnus in one of these high schools. tells me OLOM has a long way to go. And yes, the cliques are just sickening.

Agree... the school is in bad shape.
I do not know whats going on at mercy now but I do know that the school is fantastic in the academic side. The problem are the clicks ,gossips, snobbism and internal SAHM wars. Typical Potomac/Bethesda stuff

Yup...had to hit rock bottom first though. Good luck trying to rebuild enrollment.

Heard some big donors are leaving. Also a few teachers have resigned shortly after Ms. Hosmer's departure. Probably not a good time to consider Mercy for your children.
Well, the pastor has been fired. The children and teachers will be happier and morale will improve. Mercy will be fine.
Really?? When? Why? I know Ms. Hosmer retired but nothing about Father John....
Well the Catholic Standard has published an announcement that Fr. Bill Byrne is coming as Mercy's pastor so you may have missed some announcements in church. . .
Sad news. Too many changes at Mercy recently. I don't understand why. Ten school was doing just fine till last year ..
