A SACRED HEART CONNECTION
The values of National Honor Society closely align with Josephinum's Sacred Heart goals by empowering, championing, and recognizing students who use their gifts to make a difference.
NHS encourages students to see leadership not simply as an achievement, but as an opportunity to serve others, strengthen their community, and lead with purpose.
At The Jo, achievement and compassion go hand in hand.

AN HONOR TO BE RECOGNIZED
A moment worth celebrating.
Each year, Josephinum identifies students for induction into our National Honor Society chapter. Their accomplishments, character, leadership, and commitment to service are celebrated during a special induction ceremony as they officially join the Josephinum chapter.
LEADERSHIP IN ACTION
Service doesn't stop at induction.
01
Lead by serving
Following induction, NHS members continue putting the organization's values into action through service opportunities that benefit the Josephinum community.
02
Bring the community together
NHS members identify and participate in at least two service-focused activities designed for the entire student body to engage in.
LEAD WITH PURPOSE
Scholarship is just the beginning.
At Josephinum, National Honor Society gives students the opportunity to turn achievement into action and leadership into service.
