LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Sept. 26, 2019 - PRLog -- Fastest growing Catholic elementary school in the Archdiocese of Louisville honored for first time since the school's inception 54 years ago

Ascension today announced that the U.S. Department of Education has named the school a National Blue Ribbon School for 2019. This national honor is the first received since Ascension opened its doors in 1965. Adding to the accolade is the understanding that less than one-third percent of all public and private schools achieve this honor each year.

The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program is the highest honor any public or private elementary, middle, or high school can achieve in the United States. Since its kickoff in 1982, more than 8,500 schools have been awarded the honor.

The Department recognizes all schools in one of two performance categories, based on a compilation of student scores, student subgroup scores, and graduation rates. Ascension was named an Exemplary High Performing Schools.

"As the fastest growing Catholic elementary school in Louisville, it's an honor to win this prestigious award. We've seen our enrollment growth spike due to a commitment, as a team to adapting within a rapidly changing digital world. This is truly a testament to our outstanding and dedicated faculty, parents and community," said Ascension Principal Terrence Mullaney.

In November, members from Ascension will attend an awards recognition ceremony in Washington, D.C. where all 2019 Blue Ribbon Schools will be honored.

Parents interested in enrolling their children at Ascension School can contact the school's main office at (502) 451-2535 to setup a private tour or stop by the school's upcoming Open House on October 29, 2019 at 4600 Lynbrook Drive, Louisville, Ky, 40220, anytime between 9am – 6pm.
