Letter from Leadership

Dear friends,

This spring, as flowers bloom and the days get longer, we are reminded of the beauty that can come from change. Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart has proudly educated and empowered young women in Chicago since 1890—and we remain as committed as ever to educational equity and our mission to serve and educate the leaders, visionaries, and changemakers of tomorrow.

In this spring’s Conversation Piece, we celebrate the students, alumnae, volunteers, and staff that make our community so special.

Discover how young leaders are receiving an outstanding college-preparatory high school experience with significant opportunities for innovation, creativity, and community engagement as they pursue their dreams. Explore how volunteers are leaving a personal legacy through their involvement with The Jo. Meet staff members who have devoted their careers to educating and equipping the next generation. And hear from alumnae who have paved their own path with the lessons learned here at Josephinum Academy.

Our diverse learning community is dedicated to a holistic approach to education, preparing our students to be globally-minded and use their voices to bring about change within their communities—and we are honored to share their stories with you here.

Thank you for being part of our community—and thank you for believing in our mission as we take our bold next steps.

With gratitude,

Richard McMenamin
President
