Assumption Family,

As we close this 2021 Homecoming Week, we are so excited to share our recent effort to highlight the Assumption experience in video form!  Thank you to our students, faculty and staff, parents, parishes, alumni, and friends who have worked so hard to make the educational opportunity at Assumption so high-quality.  Our Assumption Family is truly blessed, and we are grateful for any efforts you can make to share this video with new and potential families.  We want any student and family who desires the Assumption Catholic education to know that this opportunity is possible and accessible.  All are welcome at Assumption High School!

One in the Spirit,

Mrs. Bridget (Duffy ’97) Murphy

AHS Prayer Group

The AHS Prayer Group gathered at 9AM  Wednesday morning to pray for the needs of our AHS students, faculty, staff and community.  We took the opportunity to pray for each member of the AHS Faculty and Staff by name, prayed for the students’ special intentions, prayed for a safe and joy-filled Homecoming, and concluded by praying the Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary.   All parents, alumni and friends of AHS are invited to join.  We will gather each Wednesday in the AHS Chapel at 9 AM.  This is a unique and special prayer opportunity.    Come as you are and come when you are able and your schedule allows (Please enter using the main entrance).  Although many of you may work during the day and may not be able to join us, please know, we are happy to lift any intentions you may have and we ask that you remember our prayer gathering and join us in spirit.  You can send prayer requests to AHSprayers@gmail.com or contact Sara Sieren 563.210.6554  

Peer Tutoring at AHS

Posted on

Could your student benefit from a peer tutor?  National Honor Society students tutor their classmates as a service to their school community before and after the school day.  If you would like to request a peer tutor for your student, please fill out the survey below with your student’s information. Once the survey is filled out, Ms. Bush will match your student with an NHS student who is available at the same time. Hurry, because we tend to run out of tutors quickly.  **Please remember that the NHS students are volunteers and that they have no prior teaching experience.  Please be kind and courteous to our students who are simply trying to be of service.  Please contact Kelly Bush at kelly.bush@assumptionhigh.org with questions.

Assumption High School is blessed to receive inquiries from various potential international students.
