==History==

The history of Assumption High School began in 1954 when the Most Reverend John A. Floersh, Archbishop of Louisville, asked the [[Sisters of Mercy]] to establish a new high school at the corner of Bardstown Road and Tyler Lane. The school first opened on September 6, [[19891955]]. In that first year, the student body consisted of 103 freshmen and 50 sophomores. The first principal was Sr. Mary Prisca Pfeffer, and the faculty consisted of five Sisters of Mercy. Another sister served as the cook and was the only staff member. For three years, the sisters lived on the third floor of the school until there were finally enough funds to build a separate convent. Today Assumption High School brings together almost 1000 young women, grades 9-12, in a Catholic environment.
