Parishioners, parents and students gathered on August 13 to meet our new principal, Mrs. Maryanne Polega. Snacks and beverages were set out after the 11:00 mass on the Parish Green Space on a glorious summer day.

Meet Mrs. Polega!
Join us after 9 and 11 o'clock Masses this Sunday, August 13th.  Our Second Sunday hospitality, hosted by Home & School and School Board, is the perfect opportunity to meet our new principal over coffee and donuts.

We are still looking for volunteers, sign up here to help. 

In her letter "From the Principal" Mrs. Polega says, "I am honored to serve as the next principal of Ascension School. This year marks Ascension’s 105th year of providing quality Catholic education in the spirit of love, kindness and respect. Thank you for the opportunity to lead a school that has such a rich history and tradition"  Read even more about Mrs. Polega in this just-released news story, "Ascension Gets New Principal."
