On behalf of Educators Collaborative, Carol Santos and George Sanderson are pleased to assist Merion Mercy Academy in its search for its next President. This is an extraordinary opportunity to lead one of the Philadelphia region's most respected Catholic schools for young women at a pivotal and promising moment in the school's history.
