Meet the Directress
With two decades as the Directress of Mount Saint Mary
Academy and 40 years as a Sister of Mercy of the Americas, I have proudly led
our community which is robust in its pursuit of academic excellence and
compassionate service to others on a local and global scale. Each day, our
classrooms and hallways are filled with young women who have a vested interest
in developing as empowered, spiritual and well-rounded leaders. They have been
confident, since their first day as Mounties, in our credo: Successful Journeys
Begin Here. Our esteemed faculty, staff, and coaches are devoted to helping our
girls attain success and achieve their pursuits.
Our alumnae are strong proof of Mount Saint Mary Academy’s
111-year history. They have emerged as the top professionals in their
respective fields – business, finance, medicine, law, STEM, fine and performing
arts, and beyond. When they return to campus or reach out to us via email or
social media, we enthusiastically celebrate them as they credit the Mount
culture and experience as profoundly motivating their achievements. As each of
our young women accept their diplomas and go on to reputable colleges and
universities, they carry with them our tradition, mission and core values of
integrity, compassion, service, justice and respect.
I invite you to learn the many ways in which Mount Saint
Mary Academy can be the start to your daughter’s successful journey. Join us at
Open House or schedule a Freshman For a Day visit. We look forward to welcoming
you.
In Mercy,
S. Lisa D. Gambacorto, RSM, Ed.S.
