A Sponsored Ministry of the Sisters of Mercy
MissionStatement
Mercyhurst Preparatory School is a four-year co-educational Catholic
secondary school founded by the Sisters of Mercy to prepare students
from all religious and ethnic backgrounds for a successful, productive, and
compassionate life in an ever-changing and interdependent world.
A Mercyhurst Prep education is based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ,
the charism of Mercy, and a modeling of Judeo-Christian values. We strive for excellence
in academic and co-curricular programs, we promote service to our local and global
communities, and we foster the dedication and active support of the students,
parents, faculty, staff, and alumni of the Mercyhurst community.
Unparalleled Preparation For Life
From The President of
Mercyhurst Preparatory School
What an incredible honor to serve as president of my alma mater, the school that we ALL hold so dear! Mercyhurst Prep was an
all girls’ school when I attended. Fortunately, it became co-ed in time for my three sons to receive the hallmark MPS education.
Outside of my parents, the Sisters of Mercy have had THE most profound influence on me. Every facet of my personal and
professional life is grounded in both the outstanding education I received at MPS as well as the Mercy charism – compassionate
presence, justice, service, hospitality, and concern for the dignity of all persons.
I am truly impressed with the level of alumni involvement at our Alma Mater. Whether it is volunteering for an event, helping in
our cafeteria, using business tax credits to provide scholarships, providing in-kind gifts/services, or donating to the annual fund,
our alumni are giving back to MPS in great ways.
My own classmates were thrilled to establish the Class of 1969 Scholarship Fund on the occasion of our 40th Anniversary so a new
generation of students can experience “unparalleled preparation for life” just as we did.
With nearly 7,000 MPS alumni living and working across the USA and around the globe, we have much to be proud of. There
simply are not enough words to thank those of you who continually support our ongoing mission at MPS.
Mary Ellen Dahlkemper, MPS ‘69
President
From The Director of
Advancement
Hello MPS family,
From a grateful student body and school, we present your Annual Report for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. To everyone who is listed
within this publication we offer our most sincere thank you for your caring generosity and support. If you aren’t listed, perhaps you
will see a fund or a cause or a classmate’s name that will inspire you to be listed in next year’s Annual Report!
We are all blessed to be part of this wonderful Mercyhurst Prep community. From its earliest days as Mercyhurst Seminary when the
all-girls school resided on the Mercyhurst College (now Mercyhurst University) campus, the compassionate presence, justice, service,
hospitality and concern for the dignity of all persons that we know as the Mercy charism core values, have helped to offer students
unparalleled preparation for life.
Believe it or not, it has been 50 years since Mercyhurst Seminary became Mercyhurst Preparatory School, moving from the University
campus up the hill to the current high school. Naturally, many things have changed. Fortunately some have not. Each day brings
new evidence of how deeply connected Mercyhurst Prep alums, families and friends are to this school and to each other. On the
following pages, you will see examples of how MPS family members have been inspired to help current and future Lakers by providing
scholarships and other donations, many in honor or in memory of a classmate, friend and loved one.
As the Mercy tradition continues into our 88th year, we welcome our new president Mary Ellen Dahlkemper, MPS ’69. We are also in
the process of welcoming members of the MPS Class of 2018, (yes, 2018!), current 8th graders, who are spending days shadowing
some of our wonderful current students. Believe me when I tell you that our future looks bright.
On behalf of all Lakers, past, current and future, we again say THANK YOU for being part of this amazing MPS family.
Sincerely,
Lisa Zompa Nietupski, MPS Director of Advancement

State of the Art Technology
& stem (Science, Technology, Engineering
and Math in the Classroom)
There is a new excitement in the air! The Bill and Audrey
Hirt Education and Technology Initiative kicked off in the
2012-2013 school year with iPads for each student and faculty
member. This provides a tremendous blending of state-of-theart classroom technology with best educational practice.
MPS campus ministry
Campus Ministry at Mercyhurst Preparatory
School seeks to express in a myriad of ways the
Gospel message of love and service. Inspired
by the charism of our foundress, Catherine
McAuley, and our sponsors, the Sisters
of Mercy, Mercyhurst Prep gives the highest
priority to a Campus Ministry program which
fosters reverent, faith-filled worship,
community building, and an orientation to
justice and compassionate service. Mercyhurst
Prep students are encouraged to assist the CM
adult team by participating in the planning
and carrying out of all Campus Ministry
programs and activities.
Students in Intro to Modern Engineering class designed and
constructed model chairs as a class project.
MPS faculty receives extensive on-going training in the use
of this wonderful educational tool. They and the students are
supported by a full-time technology expert and coach. The
iPads are being integrated into every aspect of the curriculum.
Principal Mrs. Deborah Laughlin says the iPads help to deliver
that cutting-edge advantage. “Schools are now tasked with
preparing students for newly invented jobs and even those
that have not yet been created; they need to develop in
collaboration, problem solving, analysis and synthesis, comfort
with the proper use of technology and creativity.” These
21st century skills along with the development of superior
verbal and written communication are well integrated in the
Mercyhurst Prep curriculum.
Campus Ministry invites the MPS community
to share in:
Liturgical celebrations • Prayer • Seasonal devotions for
Advent and Lent • Fundraising for charity • Dances, picnics,
and other celebrations of community • Retreats •
Balloon ministry • Volunteer service programs •
Mission trips

International Baccalaureate (IB)
Mercyhurst Prep is Northwestern Pennsylvania’s Only International
Baccalaureate (IB) World School!
What is IB?
•
The International Baccalaureate World
Programme at MPS is a curriculum of
challenging classes that lead to IB
certificates and for those who commit
to a complete IB curriculum - a coveted
IB Diploma and MPS diploma.
• IB is a broad series of 6 subjects:
2 languages, history, math, science,
and the arts.
•
A culminating course called Theory
of Knowledge, promotes and
guides reflection and synthesis of
thought generated in the various
academic disciplines.
• IB includes creativity, action and service
(CAS) work.
• IB prepares students to do university work.
• IB gives students an edge in the university
acceptance process.
• Many IB students receive college credits
and even college tuition reduction!
•
The IB curriculum is designed so that mobile
students can study a similar curriculum
throughout the world and have transferrable
credentials. Many countries, provinces and
states do not recognize local high school
diplomas.
• IB students learn to do independent research.
• IB students are bilingual, thus able to
converse in another language besides
their native tongue.
• Students research and write a 4000
word essay.
• Students may live in multiple countries
during their lifetimes and IB prepares
them for an international perspective.
Why choose a school with the
IB ProgramMe?
• IB moves the student away from memorizing
by teaching analysis, inquiry, logic,
responsibility and morality.
•
The average acceptance rate of IB
diploma students into university/college
is 22 percentage points higher than the
average acceptance rate of the total
population.

Coordinator at 814-824-3127 or www.ibo.org
Why choose the IB program?
Admissions Dean:
“The rigor of IB Diploma requirements meets
our recommendation for the strongest high
school preparation possible….In sum, the IB
diploma candidate who has met the challenge
successfully receives strong consideration from
the William & Mary admission committee.”
Allison Jesse, former Associate Dean of
Admissions, William and Mary College
Educator:
“The IB Diploma Program is the finest
curriculum available to high school students in
the last two years of high school in the world.
It is recognized by national governments,
provincial governments and by states.”
Robin Calitri, former principal at Southside High
School in Rockville Center, NY, one of the first
IB schools in the U.S.
Alumna:
“Thank you for being such
great teachers! I received 20
college credits for my “fives”
in humanities, Spanish, and
history. I actually received
credit for a history course, an
English course, and Spanish 1,
2, and 3. DePaul University also recognized
my hard work in pursuing the IB curriculum
by awarding me half tuition. Your class
lectures/instruction prepared me for these
tests. Thank you again!”
Andrea Boris, Mercyhurst Prep class of 2013
Currently attending DePaul University
Alumnus:
“The IB Program has
prepared me more than I
ever thought was possible.
I have realized while being
here at college that I have
learned a lot of this ‘higher
level’ material before, while others are
struggling with the concepts.
If you would like to be the Plato, Einstein,
or Thoreau of our day, then your first step
is to come to MPS and take the thoughtprovoking classes that will initiate your
intellectual development into high level
analysts and thinkers. It is, quite simply,
the way to success. Many schools say
this, but MPS is without a doubt the best
preparatory institution around. It is the
school at the pinnacle on a chart comparing
world-class institutions.” Mitch McBride, Mercyhurst Prep class of 2013
Currently attending Bucknell University
Current Student:
“I decided to follow the IB
route of the curriculum and
obtain certificates because
IB covers many topics and
encourages critical thinking
that would allow me to
really stretch my mind.
Because of its international aspect, IB allows
me to see the world with a culturally-aware
mindset. IB will also prepare me to handle
the rigors of a college workload.”
Clare Weisenfluh, Mercyhurst Prep class of 2015
Our sincerest thanks to our generous supporters who donated to

EITC & OSTC Tax Credit Programs
Find out what so many area business owners have discovered. Educational
Improvement Tax Credits (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credits (OSTC)
allow you to take state business taxes you are required to send to Harrisburg
and redirect the funds to MPS to provide scholarships to deserving students.
In the 2012-2013 fiscal year, tax credit donations to MPS funded seven full
scholarships and dozens of partial scholarships. As part of the program, many
of those scholarships allow students who would otherwise have to attend a
state declared “underachieving school” to instead receive an outstanding and
potentially life changing Mercy education at MPS.
Tax credits of up to 90% are available! These donations make a tremendous
impact on students’ lives. For more information on how PA tax credit
programs can allow your business to make a scholarship donation for as
little as 10 cents on the dollar, please contact the MPS Advancement office
at 814-824-2408 or [email protected].

Annual Report
Advocate Program
An advocate is someone who
acts or intercedes on behalf of
another. Can you advocate for
a Mercyhurst Prep student who
might not otherwise have the
opportunity to attend MPS? You
can do this by becoming part
of the Advocate Program and
assisting with their tuition. You
can be an Advocate for a single
year or for all 4 years of a student’s
education. We ask that you
commit to a minimum of $1,000
per student per year. You and the
student(s) for whom you advocate
may remain anonymous to each
other if you choose, or be known
to each other so that they may
acknowledge your generosity. You
may also choose to be kept up to
date on their grades.
As an Advocate, you will have a
direct role in changing someone’s
life for the better, by making an
outstanding Mercy education
possible. Think of the impact that
Mercyhurst Prep or Mercyhurst
Seminary had on you and your
loved ones. What a wonderful way
to pass it on.
For more information about the
Advocate Program, please contact
Lisa Nietupski at 824-2408 or

THANK YOU!
Technology Endowment - a second challenge is on!
When Mercyhurst Seminary alumna Louise Courtelis heard that
there was a dollar for dollar match being offered to raise funds
for the MPS Technology Endowment – she said YES in a big way!
First a bit of recent history:
It all started in 2012 with an incredible $500,000 donation from
MPS Alumna Betsy Vorsheck ’73 and her husband Bill, which
established the Bill & Audrey Hirt Education and Technology
Initiative in memory of Betsy’s parents. The initiative provided
iPads for each MPS student and faculty member as well as
intensive training in the best use of the cutting edge classroom
technology.
The Vorshecks generously donated an additional $250,000 to
match donations to a technology endowment being built to
sustain current and evolving future technology needs. Thanks
to the generosity of donors:
• Scott Griebel ‘90
• Don & Susan Baxter
• Ed & Christine Dahlkemper
• Kathleen & James Dammeyer
• Carol & Mike Geiger
• William Hilbert, Jr.
…more than $100,000 was raised and matched. That’s when
Mrs. Courtelis, Mercyhurst Seminary class of ’50, and her
daughter Kiki blessed Mercyhurst Prep by donating $400,000,
fulfilling the Vorshecks Technology Endowment match and then
offering a $250,000 match of their own.
So here is your new challenge:
All funds you donate to the technology endowment and
fund will be matched dollar for dollar up to $250,000!
Thank you to Mercyhurst Prep and Mercyhurst Seminary Alums and
MPS families for contributing to the Technology Endowment and
Fund and for your positive impact on our students’ education!
For more information about the match offer and the
Technology Endowment/Fund – please contact Lisa Nietupski
at [email protected] or 814-824-2408.
How are MPS students using iPads in the classroom?
• For their International Baccalaureate
Humanities exam, 2 students utilized their iPads to analyze and finish
Chaucer’s unfinished Canterbury Tales,
presenting it in the style of Satrapi’s graphic novel Persepolis.
• Students in Mr. Burt’s physics class
used their iPads to record themselves
throwing a ball and used the Ubersense app to help determine the
angle of the trajectory and the velocity of a projectile.
•
Mrs. Comstock’s French and Spanish classes record some of their oral reports at home and turn them in electronically.
This leaves the teacher able to send back corrections that the
students can replay as often as needed. It also leaves more time for teaching and learning in the classroom.
These are just a few examples of the innovative technology
applications seen daily in our classrooms.
Opportunities for you to help provide MPS students with
Unparalleled Preparation for Life
Annual Appeal for the Mercyhurst Prep Fund:
This is one of the best ways you can help. The MP fund is a
major source of scholarships and financial aid for deserving
MPS students. It also helps to cover the cost of student
programs and services.
Technology Fund/Endowment:
These funds help to ensure that each current and future Laker
has access to the cutting edge classroom technology they need.
* Donations to this fund are currently being matched dollar for
dollar up to $250,000 by a generous alumna!
Dollars for Scholars:
All donations to this fund go directly to MPS scholarships.
Advocate:
This is an opportunity to sponsor a student for one, two, three
or all four of their years at MPS. There is a $1,000 per year
minimum commitment.
EITC and OSTC Tax Credits:
These are wonderful “win-win” opportunities for PA businesses
and MPS! Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit
and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit programs allow you to
re-direct PA state tax dollars and designate the funds for MPS
scholarships for pennies on the dollar.
Planned Gifts:
These creative gift giving opportunities help to secure the
school’s future. Many do not include an outright gift today, but
instead, a promise of a gift in the future by naming MPS in your
will or through an insurance policy.
Matching Gifts:
Please check to see if your employer matches donations. Their
generosity adds to yours doubling the benefit to MPS students!
Specific Scholarships:
You can add to an established scholarship or create one in honor
of, or in memory of a particular individual, family, graduating
class, or cause.
Existing funds include many individual family scholarships,
as well as the following (partial list) of class and memorial
scholarships:
• Adria Stalsky Scholarship Fund
• Alumni Scholarship Fund
• Becky Flaherty Memorial Scholarship
• Class of 1967 Scholarship
• Class of 1969 Scholarship
• Donald Alberstadt Scholarship Fund
• James B. & Margaret Q. Dwyer Scholarships
• Katherine Sheriff Scholarship Fund
• Katrina Quinn Weschler Memorial Scholarship
• Mercyhurst Seminary Scholarship
• Shayna Stefanik Memorial Scholarship
• Sr. Jean Marie Sullivan Scholarship
Fundraising Events:
Join alumni and other friends for fun and exciting events that
strengthen the MPS community and provide scholarships for
deserving students.

an MPS opportunity to help our students, please contact
Lisa Nietupski at (814) 824-2408, [email protected]

~ These opportunities truly change student lives~
Thank You for your
consideration and support!
Benefactors Honored
Even with very busy professional lives this Erie couple
always finds time to help their children’s alma mater.
The Honorable Susan Paradise Baxter and Rev. Dr. Donald
Baxter, Jr. are this year’s recipients of the Laker Legends
Philanthropy Award, which was presented at the 2013 Laker
Legends Scholarship Gala.
The Baxters are
Marked by Pride
& Spirit as proud
parents of MPS
graduates Emily ‘07
and Eddie ‘11. While
their children attended MPS, the Baxters
generously helped in
many ways but were
especially active in
their support of the
arts. Susan and Don
both served as theater
boosters, filling roles
as needed from
working with costumes and manning the concession stands
to helping build sets. Susan, a federal magistrate judge for
the western district of Pennsylvania, served 2 years as booster
club president.
With Eddie and Emily well on their way to successful higher
education and careers, the Baxters’ support of the school
continues and in many ways has increased. Both have helped
to host MPS open houses answering questions of potential
new MPS families. Susan has served as a guest speaker
relating her very positive experiences and helping to
encourage parents to consider an outstanding MPS
education for their children. Don, a minister at St. Mark’s
Episcopal Church who also has a thriving dermatology
practice, is a member of the MPS board of trustees. He serves
as chairman of the advancement committee and chairs the
campaign to build the MPS technology endowment.
MPS is grateful to the Baxters for their generosity in support of
fundraising efforts including the technology endowment, as
well as their generous gifts of their time and talents.
Thank you Susan and Don for allowing your pride
and spirit to help current and future Lakers receive
the unparalleled preparation for life offered at
Mercyhurst Prep. You truly are Laker Legends!
