Notes:

The monogram IHS comes from the Greek for Jesus, IHESUS, or from the Latin Ihesus Hominum Salvator, which is, Jesus, saviour of Mankind (Jesus was the name of a religious person). A modern interpretation is In His Service.

The lettering is in a Church Blackletter style.

The letters IHS can also stand for Islamic High School.
