Recognizing the need for Catholic secondary education in Middlesex County, the Diocese of Norwich opened Mercy High School for girls and Xavier High School for boys in 1963. Mercy High School's first class of young women began school under the direction of the Sisters of Mercy in temporary quarters on the second floor of Xavier High School.

The blessing ceremony of the Mercy High School building was held in September 1965 and classes began at that facility.The first class graduated from Mercy High School in 1967.
