Mission Trip
Over Easter break, Students of Stewardship (S.O.S) traveled to San Jose Villanueva, El Salvador to work with Epilogos Charities. Through the help of our hosts, Mike and Susie Jenkins, we participated in three projects. In addition to building, several students accompanied a health care team into a rural part of the village to test the water supply for mosquito larvae to prevent Dengue fever. The mission trip was the culminating activity for S.O.S. this year. As a group, our members completed many service hours working for local charities such as the Dorothy Day House and Special Olympics before the trip. Your donation helped make all of this possible. Thank you to alumni, faculty, parents, and friends who supported the work of S.O.S.
National Honor Society
Congratulations to the 35 newly inducted members of the Ursuline High School National Honor Society chapter. During a special all-school liturgy, Principal Mrs. Fleming inducted the new members and presented certificates and Dr. Wolsonovich, Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese of Youngstown, led the new inductees in the NHS Pledge. Students who have a 3.5 or better G.P.A. are eligible to apply for induction. The faculty evaluates applications based on a student's character, leadership, scholarship, and service. Photos from the ceremony can be found in the Photo Gallery.
