Due to heavy fog this morning, all buses will be delayed by at least 30 minutes. Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure students arrive safely.

Crusaders held a mountain bike practice Saturday, showing up early to enjoy the trails and camaraderie! Thank you to Mme Annie and Mrs Parker for taking time to prepare students for the upcoming Mountain Bike Race later this month.








Our ELA 10-1 students took their vocabulary learning off the page today with a gallery walk! Students showcased key terms in creative and engaging ways, then rotated around the room to explore and interact with their classmates’ work.
This activity not only deepened their understanding of challenging words but also encouraged collaboration, discussion, and a fresh perspective on how language shapes meaning.

Students gave staff some kind words and sweet treats to kick off our district faith theme, "Small Things With Great Love" (Mother Teresa).
Our AJSH Clothing Store is now OPEN! Scan the QR Code or visit assumptionspiritwear.itemorder.com

Our first monthly theme, as we do "Small Things with Great Love," is "Human Dignity." The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred as we are made in God's image and likeness and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. In short form: Every person is special and is loved and cared for by God.
Pictures show reflective art students have created in response to this theme.

Crusaders! Get those running shoes ready - Cross Country practices start Tuesday! See Mme Annie or Mrs Parker for more details.

Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, whose life reminds us that God’s presence can be found in simple, everyday acts. Her words, ‘Do small things with great love,’ will guide our faith journey from 2025–2029 as we live out this message in our schools and communities.

Assumption Jr/Sr High School is embracing our new faith theme: “Doing Small Things with Great Love.”
Together, our staff and students are living out this message by sharing kindness, showing compassion, and turning everyday moments into opportunities to reflect Christ’s love throughout our school community.
