Founded in 1845, Ascension Catholic is a Catholic co-educational school operated by the Diocese of Baton Rouge that serves grades Pre-K through twelve. The mission of Ascension Catholic is to educate and develop students spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically, for the purpose of loving God, self, and others as members of Christ’s Church. In a safe and nurturing environment, we strive to continue the tradition of developing responsible Christian adults who live according to the principles and practices of the Catholic Church.

"We believe that every child is a child of God and for this reason our school exists."
