Statement from Mount Saint Mary Academy
Mount Saint Mary Academy’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is grounded in our identity as a Catholic institution. The Mercy Core Values of justice, compassion, integrity, respect, and service are the foundation of the lived experience at The Mount. Those values provide a foundation for our commitment to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive experience for our students. The Mount strives to create an environment that promotes a growth mindset as we equip our students with the skills required for success in the complex and rapidly changing world in which we live.
Dr. Diana Artis of Olive Branch Educators, LLC (our DEI - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Coordinator and an honorary alumna) meets with students, faculty, and staff to focus on our initiatives at Mount Saint Mary Academy. While concentrating on the theme of “Compelled by Mercy and Inspired by Grace,” we concentrate on how to take mercy into an interconnected world by loving others, connecting with others, and accepting others.”
