Ascension Academy’s Exciting Class of 2023: Academic Senior Signing Day

Graduation is an important time in a high school student's life. It becomes a bigger deal when they make the decision to go to college. All the work that goes into picking a school and the next steps to make that next step.

For twenty-seven students at Ascension Academy, this next step came with answers that they wanted to hear. Every graduating student this year is going on to college. Oh, and every single one is going to attend the college of their choice. This is great news.

Today one hundred percent of the graduating class will be part of the Senior Academic Signing Day. Each one of them will sign their letter of intent to go on with their higher education.

According to a recent press release from Ascension Academy all 27 seniors were accepted to a total of 34 colleges with $2,685,200 in university-offered, merit-based scholarships.

They will be attending the school of their choice with money to help them on their way.
