After 165 years of providing quality Catholic education to our youth in the greater Donaldsonville and surrounding communities, Ascension Catholic with its reputation for providing personal, intellectual, and religious formation in a nurturing, family-like environment, is still producing well rounded graduates fully prepared to take their places in American society as responsible, Christian citizens. Today, Ascension Catholic serves over 500 students from pre-school through 12th grade from 19 church parishes. Colleges and universities around the country, including Ivy League institutions, see 98% of our graduates, half of whom enjoy academic scholarships totaling $1,144,200.00. In the graduating class of 2008, 84% of the class graduated with honors and 63% of the class earned TOPS scholarship awards. Our High School’s 2008 ACT average of 21.2 surpassed both the state and national averages. A notable part of our tradition includes a strong athletics program, which has claimed numerous state championships over the years, and a dance team, which has consistently been ranked nationally.
