A private, Catholic high school in Erie, PA. Rivals with Cathedral Prep and big on musical productions, sports, and school spirit. The only place where theater kids can somehow become more popular than jocks and cheerleaders and not get bullied for it.
80% of the student body has and will spend their entire academic life on one hill, since they all flocked from St. Luke's to Mercyhurst Prep and then will migrate to Mercyhurst University. People are either there for the academics or because their parents would've rather killed themselves than send their sheltered private school kid off to the frontlines of war (the Erie public school system). Speaking of which, if you don't have your shit together, you'll probably get shipped off to Erie High anyway.
The girls there also love to inbreed instead of dating outside of their school for some reason. They'll hook up with everyone within their friend group five times at minimum and fight each other for the same twink or football star who's already been cheating on them before they start looking elsewhere.
People are generally nice on the outside, but things can get nasty quick if you have a bad reputation. If you're a minority, live outside of Erie, or were homeschooled up until now, good luck.

"Hey, are we still going to Millcreek Mall after this?"
"Yeah, sorry for the holdup. The Mercyhurst Prep rowing team was trying to indoctronate me into their cult again."
