School Profile
St. Catharine Academy is a high school sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy of the Mid-Atlantic Community. In fulfilling their educational purpose, St. Catharine Academy seeks to be faithful to the inspiration and legacy of Catherine McAuley, the 19th century founder of the Sisters of Mercy. She was motivated to make some lasting efforts to break the oppressive cycle of poverty and she was convinced that there was no better way to do so than through education, particularly the education of women. St. Catharine Academy is built on that conviction.
