On behalf of the faculty and staff at Merced High School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our school’s website.  Merced High Bear Country has enjoyed tremendous success for over 100 years and has established many incredible traditions and legacies throughout the years.  I sincerely hope you will take the time to look throughout our web pages and enjoy the numerous opportunities available to all the students who are part of our Bear family.  We believe our students’ years at Bear Country will be their opportunity to be a ‘Scholar and a Champion’ in whatever endeavor they undertake – and we are very proud of everyone’s accomplishments. 

Our goal as educators is to support all students academically and socially.  We will make every effort so all students graduate as successful and literate members of society – and be able to succeed in the increasingly complex world in which they will live and work.  The incredible faculty and staff at Merced High School continue to encourage all students to set high goals for themselves and to reach for their dreams. 

Thank you for visiting our website and I am confident that you will see many parts of the proud Merced Bear tradition.  GO BEARS!!!
