Athletics

The Athletic Department at Our Lady of Mercy Academy views interscholastic athletics as an integral part of the total educational process in which student-athletes are challenged to develop their full potential. In our athletic program, students have a forum to develop their skills and fine-tune their abilities. In doing so, they experience a sense of self-accomplishment knowing they have achieved their personal best. Athletes learn to work within a group, develop dedication to their teams, and make personal sacrifices for the common good.

Athletics, by nature, provide a significant opportunity to instill the qualities of personal integrity, honesty and self-discipline. Competitive athletics demand dedication, excellence, and determination. It takes courage to give 100 percent of self, have humility in victory and graciousness in defeat. The athlete puts forth the best of herself and, together with her team, represents the best of Our Lady of Mercy Academy.
