In her remarks, Sister Lisa Gambacorto, RSM, Ed.S., Directress, challenged the installed leaders to model strong leadership, motivate the school community, build positive relationships, model kindness and mercy, and inspire connection.
"Our newly-installed 'servant-leaders' have earned the trust of the student body, the faculty, and Administration. You are role models now. Your actions, decisions, and attitudes will influence not only your peers but the entire culture of the school," said Sister Lisa. "So, I ask you to lead with honesty, humility, respect, and to honor the traditions of this 118-year institution of Mercy."
Sister Lisa concluded, "As you begin this new school year, I place my confidence in you. I pray that you will embrace every challenge and every opportunity to make the Mercy Core Values real in how we care for each other. Let's work together to continue to build our legacy of excellence in what we say, in what we do, and in how we do it! God bless you!"
