What’s Happening at AHS
Host Family Opportunities
Assumption High School is blessed to receive inquiries from various potential international students. Though Assumption does not directly facilitate arranging host family partnerships for students, we want to make you aware that we have a number of potential international students from a variety of countries needing host families for the 2021-2022 school year. If interested, or if you have any questions, please contact: Stephanie Schroeder, Director of Admissions, at stephanie.schroeder@assumptionhigh.org or 563-326-5313, extension 230. She will put you in contact with the appropriate agency representative who can share more information about requirements for host families and the associated monthly compensation for hosting a student. Thanks for your potential interest in this wonderful opportunity for your family and our school community!

Freshman and New Student Orientation Reminder
Orientation will be held Tuesday, August 17th, and all incoming freshmen and new/transfer students are required to be present from 2-5pm. Students are asked to be in dress code for orientation. The student-only portion of the day will be devoted to meeting teachers, learning student schedules, accessing lockers, and familiarizing students with lunch procedures. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to arrive at 5:00pm for an opportunity to get more parent-directed orientation information in the AHS Auditorium. This evening portion is intended for students and their parents to have the opportunity to not only feel comfortable with a variety of school personnel but to also connect with future classmates and their families.
