Annual Campaign | Honor the Past. Shape the Future

As St. John’s Northwestern begins its 143rd school year, we are proud to introduce this year’s Annual Fund theme: Honor the Past. Shape the Future. For 143 years, generations of students, families, alumni, faculty, and supporters have helped shape the traditions, experiences, and community that make SJN what it is today. This year, we will celebrate that incredible history while also looking ahead to the students and generations who will carry it forward. Through the Annual Fund, our community has the opportunity to preserve the traditions we value, support the experiences of today’s students, and help ensure SJN continues to grow and thrive for years to come. Throughout the year, we look forward to sharing stories from our past, highlighting the impact being made today, and showing how together we can continue to Honor the Past. Shape the Future.
