Principal Bridget M.

Business Owner

Bridget L. Muehlenkamp is Mercy’s longest-​tenured staff person, having served as either a teacher or principal for nearly 40 years. She has dedicated her life to making a difference in the lives of children with developmental and/​or intellectual disabilities.

Students and everyone in the building for that matter know her as Bridget, not Mrs. Muehlenkamp. Bridget taught students for 26 years before taking over as principal in January 2002, when she was chosen as the school’s fourth principal since the school’s inception in 1954.
