 Summer Reading 2008

Ascension Catholic views the life long habit of reading as the hallmark of an educated person and encourages each student to read widely throughout the year. Summer reading and other intellectual activities serve to stimulate, enrich and to reinforce academic skills during the long summer hiatus from formal schooling. Appropriate reading, of course, also provides the best long-range preparation for college tests which students face during their junior and senior years.
