a Mercy High School Art Contest Wed., March 20, 2019

6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls are invited to participate in Mercy’s “Fabulous Works of Art” art competition held at Mercy High School Burlingame!

Mercy Dance treated us to a dazzling evening spectacular with the bright lights, dramatic numbers, and iconic Broadway tunes of ‘Showstoppers’.

Artsfest is Mercy’s annual art show for students in ceramics, studio art, and photography to showcase their work. Artistic creativity was displayed throughout their exceptional and diverse projects.

What do Jason Mraz, the Beatles, Coldplay, The Greatest Showman, and a Renaissance composer all have in common? They all have songs that were featured in the spring Chorale concert!
