Admissions

Admissions to Our Lady of Mercy Catholic High School are done on a highly competitive basis. Typically no more than 35 students are admitted to each grade level.

Candidates for admission to the freshman class must be an eighth grade graduate with a diploma. Candidates must also (1) complete the OLMCHS Entrance Exam with a passing score,  which will be decided based upon the overall average for each year; (2) complete the OLMCHS Application for Admission; (3) complete a personal interview of student and student’s parents or guardian; and (4) Provide official transcript and diploma from elementary school. Students will be notified that they are being considered for acceptance by way of a letter sent to their elementary school or directly to parents.

The date of the OLMCH Entrance Exam varies yearly and will be announced several weeks prior to it taking place.

Returning OLMCHS students (who have left the school for one or more years) will:

  • Be admitted into the grade immediately higher than the last grade completed (all quarters must have been completed).
  • Provide an official transcript if he or she had transferred to another institution to continue education and wants to then return to OLMCHS.
  • The situation will be reviewed with the student and his or her parents for proper placement.

Students desiring to transfer into the upper grades (Grades 10 – 12) will:

  • Complete the OLMCHS Application for Admission.
  • Provide official transcript from institution previously attended.

All non-returning students (including into the upper grades) who have received notification of Acceptance to OLMCHS will:

  • provide an official transcript from last school attended
  • request from a licensed medical practitioner the completion of the OLMCHS Medical Clearance Form.
  • complete the OLMCHS Registration Form.
  • provide payment in FULL of the non-refundable, yearly registration fee.
  • (Returning OLMCHS students are not required to pay this fee twice for one academic school year if split among multiple years.)

Our Academics

Service

At Our Lady of Mercy Catholic High School, we teach our students the value of serving one another and our community. All of our students partake in community service projects every year, and we encourage our students to continue to give back to their communities after they graduate. For us at OLMCHS, education without service is not truly education and everything that we do is guided by that principle.
