High School Placement Test

This past Saturday was the High School Placement Test. It was so cool to see yet another class of Rockets come in those doors. They were so excited about their new school and ready to be student here. Of course some were nervous, but I could tell that it's going to be an awesome group. Wow - the class of 2015! It is crazy how fast time flies by. Welcome, class of 2015 Rockets!

Winter Art Show

The art show was amazing this year! It was great to see all of the talent that the girls here have. Everything from the bugs made out of recycled soft drink cans to the pastel flowers were beautiful and showed me that AHS really has something for everyone.

Immaculate Conception Mass

The Immaculate Conception Mass was a great time for us to come together as a school. It was really nice to see my classmates reading and singing so well. We got the chance to reflect on the story of Mary and how she is a role model for us in our everyday lives. The Immaculate Conception Mass was a wonderful chance for the whole Assumption community to be together in prayer.
-Tricia D.

The Immaculate Conception Mass was really a beautiful liturgy. I loved watching my friends sing and read for the mass. I was very excited that I was able to carry up the gifts during mass. It was great to examine how the story of the Immaculate Conception connects to our daily lives. Teachers and students alike provided excellent points for reflection.

Thanksgiving Prayer Service

The Thanksgiving prayer service is always one of my favorite prayer services. The week before Thanksgiving every Assumption student writes a thank you letter to people in their life who they truly appreciate. Each year some students read their letters at the prayer service. I always tear up a little at how moving the letters are. The prayer service makes me truly appreciate Assumption High School and all of the people who make up the community of Assumption.

The Thanksgiving Prayer Service is always one of my favorites. All the touching stories that the girls and teachers read to their families, friends, and other people who have touched their lives is truly moving. It's so nice to be able to say thank you and to know that there are people in our lives that care about us.

Fall Sports Banquet

There was a lot of celebrating at our fall sports banquet this year. Volleyball won the state title and so did cross country. The field hockey team was the state runner-up and the golf and soccer teams also both had great seasons. The celebration was very nice. Awards were given to scholar athletes and to girls who embody the qualities of good sportsmanship.

All-School Dance

The all-school dance this year was amazing. There was a huge Eiffel Tower set up in the gym and almost a thousand people came to the dance. It was very exciting and I think everyone had a lot of fun!
