The US Department of Education describes the National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence Award with the following description:

"The National Blue Ribbon Schools flag gracing a school's building is a widely recognized symbol of exemplary teaching and learning. National Blue Ribbon Schools are an inspiration and a model for schools still striving for excellence."

Our Lady of Mercy Academy has been awarded this distinction two consecutive times. At OLMA you will not only find a caring and dedicated faculty, but you will also find the academic preparation that lays a true foundation for success from our youngest Pre-K 3 students right up to our graduating 8th-grade students who will join the most competitive High Schools in our area.
