School Notes
Mount de Sales Academy [est. 1876], an independent Catholic
school sponsored and inspired by the Sisters of Mercy, is a diverse
college-preparatory community of learners-students and teachers
alike-who are poised to discover, challenged to innovate, and
motivated to serve.
Poised to Discover: Students are poised to discover their
talents and to seek knowledge during their journey here.
Opportunities for discovery include the Diploma Endorsement
Program, where students are immersed in any one of six academic
concentrations; the Senior Transition Experience Program (STEP)
with Navicent Health, where students delve into multiple facets of
health care; and engaging exploratory courses and a variety of
clubs that allow students to find their niche.
Challenged to Innovate: Students are challenged to innovate as
they apply their knowledge to create solutions to real world
problems. LEGO Robotics club members are tasked with building and

arguments; and STEM course students research, design, build, test,
and redesign projects based in science, technology, and math.
Motivated to Serve: Students are motivated to serve through the
Mercy in Action program, which incorporates the philosophy of
servant leadership. Community outreach is at the heart of the Mercy
mission and opportunities are plentiful. To name a few, Cavaliers
work with Rebuilding Macon to freshen up old houses with paint,
repairs, and a lot of TLC; prepare and serve meals to patrons at
the St. Peter Claver Catholic Church food pantry; and hand-knit
hats for cancer patients at the Central Georgia Cancer Center.
