Mercersburg is published three times annually by the Office of Strategic Marketing & Communications, and underwent a a full redesign in 2007.

Mercersburg was one of two full-color independent school magazines to earn a CASE District II Accolades Award in 2008. (CASE is an international association for advancement and communications professionals in education; District II includes the Mid-Atlantic region and portions of Canada and the Caribbean.)

We hope that the magazine will inform and entertain the Mercersburg family and strengthen the bonds connecting us all with this important place.
