“The academics are excellent, but the most important thing is the values that are taught. Kindness, altruism and empathy are taught by example. We feel so grateful that we chose Assumption and only wish we had come sooner.”
-Gene & Maureen Thomas
“We wanted our daughter to grow up in a Christian-based environment, but were not expecting to find such a strong and loving community. It was a wonderful surprise, and we’ve now realized how important that is when finding a good school.”
-Edgar & Karla Sicairos
“If you want a second home full of love, values, and respect, where your children also develop well academically to be better people in this society, do not hesitate to choose Assumption for them.”

Taylor is our last 8th grader to be featured in our graduation series. Kind of ironic, given that he finished first in so many cross country races and track events. Taylor has broken ACS records, and will truly shine at Squalicum High School next fall. Favorite Memory at ACS: One day during the fall of seventh grade, at recess, my friends and I were playing football. I attempted to do a touchdown celebration of a thing an NFL player did when I ran into the light post next to the cross because I had my sweatshirt over my head. Later that same recess, on the blacktop, I caught a pick but got run over by a traffic cone.What will you miss about ACS: I will miss the great education that I have received here because I probably wouldn't have been able to achieve that elsewhere. I will also miss the ross country and track meets. Favorite Bible Verse: Sirach 13:6 "When he needs something from you he will cajole you." Congratulations, Taylor! 🎓👏 #AssumptionCatholic #8thgradegraduation #classof2023 #congratulations #ontohighschool #celebrate #proudofyou #athlete

For a decade, Sam has called Assumption his second home, in which it provided a nurturing environment, where he's grown and learned, and made lasting memories. We wish him all the best at Squalicum this fall, and hope he continues to let his light shine. 💡Favorite memory at ACS: My favorite memories from ACS were playing many sports with my friends and going on fun and exciting trips like Washington, DC, Camp Lutherwood, and the Museum of Flight.What will you miss about ACS: When I leave Assumption I will miss all my friends that are going to different schools.Favorite Bible Verse: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed. I am the Lord your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand." Isaiah 41:10Congratulations, Sam! 🎓👏#AssumptionCatholic #classof2023 #ontohighschool #congratulations #celebrate #8thgradegraduation #proudofyou
