Sarah Waite
Secretary and Classroom Support
“Ms. Sarah” started her Mercy Center journey as a student when the preschool was located under the Sisters of Mercy Motherhouse! When it was time for her children to attend preschool, she immediately chose Mercy Center. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Penn State Behrend and among her professional accomplishments, being a mom is her greatest and most rewarding title. Recently, she has been named Vice President of the Belle Valley Elementary PTA. She believes that students thrive in an environment surrounded with positivity, creativity, and encouragement. While not at Mercy Center or volunteering at Belle Valley, Ms. Sarah loves outdoor adventures with her family and friends. Her happy place is on the beach watching the sunset with her husband and two children. She is excited to be a part of the Mercy Center of the Arts family once again!
