Dear Josephinum Community, 

It has been another big year at Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart, and we are excited to give you an inside look through the pages of this spring’s Conversation Piece. 

Each and every day, we watch students become the leaders, visionaries, and changemakers of tomorrow. They inspire us with their tenacity, courage, bold vision, compassion, and commitment to their communities—both here at The Jo and across the city of Chicago. 

It is our great honor to encourage these skills and passions. 

Through returning programs like our partnership with the UIC College of Nursing and new initiatives like our THRIVE Scholarship, both of which you’ll read more about in this Conversation Piece, we are creating opportunities for students to learn, lead, develop new skills, and prepare for their futures. 

Thank you for supporting us, encouraging us, and helping make these opportunities possible. We are so grateful that you are part of our community, and we hope you are as inspired as we are by the stories of our students, teachers, volunteers, donors, and friends in these pages. 

With gratitude and hope for all that is to come,
