“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.”
-Bernardo Torres-Ariza & MeryLuz Duque-Soto
Latest from Social Media
We are always thrilled to see our ACS alumni "going forth and making a lasting difference in the world"! Last spring, the Fulcrum Foundation introduced the St. John Baptist de la Salle Educator Excellence Award. St. John, the patron saint of teachers, devoted his life to the education of young people. Will Chambers, ACS Class of 1997, is among the 2024 inaugural class of awardees! Will has been a Catholic educator for 18 years and is keenly aware of student strengths and the gifts they bring to the community. As a current English teacher at O'Dea High School, he continually engages students, build connections, and finds ways for each student to succeed. He models servant leadership in all his interactions, and he finds his time with students and colleagues to be life-giving and energizing.Assumption Catholic School is so proud to call him our own. Congratulations, Will!

Once a week our seventh graders take over the giant Washington State Map to the gym for Washington State History. Last week they played a game called "Where in Washington" on the giant map. 📌#AssumptionCatholic #middleschool #wastatehistory #learningisfun #handsonlearning #learninginaction

A little sneak peak into our First Friday Peacemaker Mass yesterday. Isn't it amazing that our 8th graders have an opportunity to be Eucharistic Ministers? Congratulations to all the students who were awarded the peacemaker pin for exhibiting "Love", the first fruit of the Holy Spirit. #AssumptionCatholic #peacemakermass #fruitsoftheholyspirit #fridaymass #ambassadors #faithlife
