Mount Mercy will continue hosting Discover Mercy events on selected dates from 9 a.m. to noon. Enrollment is limited to 10 students each day and visitors will need to wear a mask, have a temperature check and practice social distancing before taking part in the program. Guests will meet with current students, members of the Mount Mercy faculty and staff and receive a tour of the school while witnessing the daily life of a Mercy girl. Stay tuned for the next group of dates.
Personal tours are available for families that wish to visit the school in person. Guests must follow the protocols for Covid-19. Tours may be arranged during non-school hours through the Mount Mercy Academy website.
