Please mark your calendars for the following dates!

Be on the lookout for a more detailed “Back to School 2024-2025 Information Letter” by email soon. Please take note of these dates as every student will need to stop in on one of the days, drop off important paperwork, and have a school year photo taken along with some other important items.

Some pre check-off items so that you are coming to registration days well prepared for the 2024-2025 year:

  • SENIORS are required to provide an updated immunization record reflecting the 2nd Meningitis Vaccine (MenACWY or Men ABCWY) required by the Scott County Health Dept. (Please look for an email with more information regarding this vaccine as we are required by law to have this record before a student is to attend school as a senior. You will not receive an email if your have one on file.) You can also email this record to donica.mokosak@assumptionhigh.org at any time.
  • FRESHMEN are required to bring a Certificate of Dental Screening

The drawing is open to all students Freshman-Seniors and will be drawn in June, so there’s still time for your students to qualify! Students can fill out the free form by visiting CatholicCollegeInfo.com . All students who request Catholic college information and who are considering a Catholic college are entered.

Please Consider Hosting for our NET Team April 30-May 3

Posted on

We are 60 days out from our class retreats (April 30th– May 3rd).

This year, we are looking for families to host the NET missionaries from Sunday, April 28th (evening)- Friday, May 3rd (morning.) Each morning, they will need to be dropped off at the retreat site, and each evening, upon their return to your home, they need dinner and a place to sleep.

There are 5 men, and 5 women NET members. So we are looking for homes that could accommodate 2 or 3.

Please contact Natalie.imborek@assumptionhigh.org for more information about housing NET.

We are in need of host families! Please consider this need for our AHS community as a wonderful way to give back!
