There are or have been over thirty Catholic elementary schools within the Archdiocese of Louisville. ==Ascension Elementary School== Ascension Elementary School serves grades PreK-8 within the Archdiocese of Louisville. Sports teams compete under the title "The Ascension Longhorns". The school is in the St. Regis Park neighborhood of Louisville,Kentucky currently serves about 370 students with 35 teachers plus supporting staff. It teaches the core curriculum, in addition to art, music, computer, Physical Education and Spanish classes. The Ascension Longhorns have a long established history of success in athletics, of which the most notoriety has been garnered by the now disbanded football program. During the 1990s, the boys football programs amassed 8 Toy Bowl Championships and multiple undefeated seasons, defeating opponents by an average of 35.6 points a game. This success earned the program a chance to be featured on the cover of the Team Cheerios cereal box in a national competition, of which it placed as runner up. In 2008, however, the Ascension football program was placed on hiatus and merged with nearby St. Martha due to dwindling student attendance, a trend observed both locally and nationally for Catholic schools. The Ascension Longhorns are known for being a yearly contender for the Toy Bowl Championship, and the annual basketball Christmas tournament. Their success can be attributed to their advanced athletic facilities for a middle/grade school. With two football fields, the Longhorns can focus on improving football teams on all grade levels at once. At the same time, the gymnasium boasts 1.5 basketball courts. This allows for longer practices, as well as a larger perimeter for the athletes to run laps. The extra half basketball court was added during the Maureen Clerkin administration in the early 2000s. Ascension has been cited by numerous local and national sport commentators as a key indicator when it comes to a college coach's decision on scoping football recruits. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louisville Catholic elementary schools」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
