The Alumnae Directory Project Has Begun
Mercy High School has partnered with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) to manage a significant alumnae data and directory update. The project kicked off in July 2018 with the data-update process and will last through Fall 2018. Printed alumnae directories will be available to order and set to arrive in Spring 2019 (digital versions of the directory will also be available for purchase). In addition to the directories, PCI representatives will also be selling Mercy-branded items such as t-shirts and travel bags.
All alumnae are encouraged to confirm or update their contact information with PCI.
We have received some feedback from our alumnae about PCI during this project. We want to thank you for your contacting us about your experience and want you to know that your feedback is being communicated to PCI. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to improve our alumnae contact information through this project. This information is essential to Mercy's current and future alumnae engagement efforts.
