Does anyone know the blazon????: Or, the Christian monogram "IHS" Argent in base a ??? all within a bordure Azure charged with an orle of six fleur and six ??? outward Argent.
The device on the bordure appears to be a double tressure flory-counterflory (see the upper left corner color photo on the linked page you cite). Why this is used I can’t say. It would IMO certainly be inappropriate in personal or family arms assumed/adopted in the US. For an educational institution, the same concerns & observations recently posted elsewhere on this forum re: the use of the arms of Orange, and on the thread re: Our Education, would seem to apply.

The closeup in this pdf (search for "seal") seems to indicate a one sided flory.

The blazon is perhaps:
Or, the monogram "IHS" with the cross above the "H" Azure and the three nails of the cross below it proper, a bordure Sanguine charged with six plates outside a tressure flory Argent.
or perhaps
Argent, the monogram "IHS" with the cross above the "H" and the three nails of the cross below it Or, a bordure Sanguine charged with six plates outside a tressure flory Argent.
