Ancillae-Assumpta Academy

Dear Friends and Visitors,

On behalf of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the school community of Ancillae-Assumpta Academy, I warmly welcome you to our website.  Over the past ten years, I have come to know and love this community.  As the new Director, I am honored to be a part of this outstanding tradition of excellence and am energized to advance the Academy toward continued success.  I invite you to explore what it means to be a part of a school that promotes shared responsibility, human interdependence, dynamic creativity, and people empowerment.  As our school theme implies, United Like the Fingers of a Hand, our leadership team, faculty, and staff work as one to support and challenge our students to be R.I.C.E.-filled people. 

Ancillae-Assumpta Academy is moving with confidence in our sixty-fifth year as a Catholic private elementary school.  Since 1945, The Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus have provided a unique educational program for students in pre-school through grade eight.  We remain committed to providing a wholesome comprehensive program addressing the spiritual, academic, cultural, and physical needs of our students.  With our Shared Vision plan for 2010-2020, the Academy is looking ahead to continue advancement in the areas of curriculum, staff development, facilities, and networking.

Saint Raphaela Mary, foundress of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, inspires our educational mission with this particular quote, "the teaching in our schools is more than a profession; it is a priestly function and the school building is more than a school, it is a sanctuary." As you explore our school we hope you share our respect and awe for the holy ground on which we as educators tread every day as we strive to "educate with love and for love".

With peace,
