Members of the Assumption Choir have had a very successful fall and have earned some high honors. Two 9th grade students, Caitlyn Creech and Jill Haut, were selected for the 2025 9th Grade Opus Honor Choir on November 20. You can watch the full Opus event HERE.

One student, Claire Eby ’26, was selected to participate in the 79th annual Iowa All-State Chorus, and this was Claire’s second year in the chorus. You can watch the Iowa All-State Music Festival on Iowa PBS this Monday, Dec. 8 at 8 pm.

Many singers presented solo and group singing Thespy at the 2025 Iowa Thespian Festival in early November, and Henrick Senne ’28, earned a 2nd Place finish in his center. Congratulations, Henrick!

ICAN Senior Alert: The FAFSA

FAFSA Applications
If you haven’t filed your FAFSA, the following is a recording of the step-by-step process. You should get your FAFSA submitted as soon as possible, but it’s very important if you are considering the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, or Loras College. Each of these colleges have a FAFSA priority date in December.
  • University of Iowa – December 1
  • Loras College – December 1
  • Iowa State University – December 15
These dates mean if you get your FAFSA submitted to these colleges by that date, you receive the maximum amount of financial aid you qualify for. If you file the FAFSA after a school’s priority date, financial aid may be limited, and you may not get as much.

Check out our recording on the process and get your FAFSA filed today.

Assumption Marching Knights!

Posted on

The Assumption Band has had a busy season, and we ended with two parades! We marched in the Davenport Halloween Parade, and got an award for Best Overall Entry! Students marched in costume and band parents handed out candy to the parade goers. On Veteran’s Day, Assumption marched in the Veteran’s Day Parade and accompanied Deacon John Wagner on The Star Spangled Banner after the parade. We are thankful for the active duty and retired military and our veterans for their service!
