Foreword With the passage of years Assumption High School has grown from a school with an enrollment of 159 students and a faculty of nine to a school with an enrollment of 1326 and a faculty of 70. With the small enrollment at its beginning it can easily be conceived that every student on the campus knew one another, but with the passing years and the continued increased enrollment this became an impossibility. Now, not only has student life changed but the curriculum has also. Vital curriculum changes in the past years have resulted in an ultimate en- richment of both academic and vocational fields. Assumption High School is constantly up-dating its curriculum and outlook for we cannot be satis- fied with just trying to maintain what we have. We have to anticipate the future and plan accord- ingly. The year 1970-71 marked a new era in the History of Education of Assumption Parish. The system and method of operation did not change but the structure of our educational system did. We moved from two separate high schdol systems into a unitary system by merging the two high schools as one. This, of course, brought about many problems and many of us faced the school year with some reservation. Now that the year is complete and we look back we feel the transition was quite successful and this success can be attributed to the general acceptance of the public, the maturity, dedication and professional attitude of the faculty, and to a very understanding and capable student body. Yes, the passage of the years have changed Assumption High School, but its scopes and aims have not changed and that is tp provide our pupils with both the skills and the attitude necessary to be a part of society. We look forward to the future with great anticipation. 2
