hi!
I have a new Mercersburg sophomore (DD4), so will be heading to campus on August 29th, and will be in Hagerstown on August 28th. We are also a “returning” Mercersburg family, as my DD2 is a returning junior and my (other) DD4 is a returning sophomore. So we’ll be at “new family” drop-off, even though this will be our third drop-off. 
Is anyone going to be in Hagerstown on August 28th?
If so, drop me a direct message so we can connect!
I hope everyone has a great fall!!!

Hi Calliemomofgirls, new to this site and was wondering if you would be willing to discuss your girls stay at Mercersburg. I am looking for next year and would appreciate any insights you may have.
I would be happy to talk about Mercersburg!
For the past three years, I’ve had one daughter join Mercersburg so now I have three girls there! What I love most is that they are all three very different kids, and they all found their path at Mercersburg and all three really love it.
I’ve posted a fair amount about our experiences there, so feel free to do a quick search and you’ll get lots more info that way too.
Or, feel free to ask questions, either here or via DM!

Hi there- just wanted to offer to speak about Mercersburg as well in case you’re looking for additional info. My son is a current 10th grader and it’s been a transformative experience for him! Happy to answer any questions if Calliemomofgirls wasn’t able to cover it all. Good luck with your search!

Thanks for the offer. We will be there next Thursday afternoon. I feel like I have the answers to the questions I know to ask but it’s the ones I don’t know to ask that bother me. If I have any after the tour I will be sure to post. Everyone here has been so helpful. Any chance your boys are on the swim team? That is part of what the MB attraction is for us.
My son plays football and lacrosse, and has done the climbing/hiking program and model UN as his other PGAs. He does have a few friends who swim, and one of them has a mom who was active on this board when we all applied two years ago but I can’t remember her screen name! I can connect you both offline and I’m sure that admissions will put you in contact with other swimming families as well. The aquatics facility is stunning and our program is very strong. The bulk of the program are year-round swimmers but you get some students who swim just in the winter and others who will swim fall/winter and then play baseball or lacrosse in the spring. Good luck and enjoy the tour!
Thanks for the info. There is one person I have been chatting with, novaboymom has been very helpful. Not sure if it’s the same person you were thinking of.

Lol- that’s her! Hopefully admissions will put you in touch with some other all-season swim families. Keep us posted after your tour if you’d like either Calliemomofgirls or I to find some additional contacts for you. Admissions is usually pretty good with connecting people based on interests.
ha! I was going to jump and tell you that you two are talking about the same person. :). Novamom extraordinaire! :).
