About Assumption Academy
In
1857, four years before the
Civil War began, the mission
church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was organized.
The entire area was wooded and small farm houses were the only buildings in existence.
Mass was celebrated in the home of
James Morrow.
In
1863 a lot and small
house was purchased for $500 and the house was remodeled into the first church of the
mission.
This was located at the corner of the present Royalton Road and Ridge Road in what is now
North Royalton.
A year later a parcel of land on Broadview Road and Royalton Road was purchased.
It had a large frame building on it, which was remodeled into a church.
This building served as the church for the next forty-one years, until
1905.
As the
population of the area grew, the present property on Broadview Road was purchased in
1929.
In
1930 a stone-trimmed brick church, seating 325 persons, was built.
This served the
people for the next 40 years.
In
1938 the parish had grown to 100 families.
Assumption Academy is known to have given birth to a sexual predator, he is only known as Aj.
His Idol Is
Michael Jackson and is planning to move to
Bahrain where Michael currently lives, so they can tickle each other together in harmony.
Aj is known for swinging little boys and girls and then attracks them to a little corner to do his
magiccalled Jesus JuiceThe Ursuline Sisters from Cleveland taught CCD classes in the church building on weekends and in
1957 an eleven-classroom school was built.
The Sisters of the Incarnate Word from
Parma Heights was invited to staff it.
Sr. Agnes (formerly Bernadette) Kane, S.I.W. was the first
principal who headed the staff of 5 sisters and four lay
teachers.
They staffed eight grades in eight of the ten classrooms.
Approximately 375 pupils were enrolled in the first
year.
There was a steady increase in enrollment for ten years, the peak being 532 in
1966.
At this time, eleven classrooms were utilized, one being the large space on the lower
floor.
For the next four years the number of pupils decreased gradually.
In
1971, the year tuition was initiated in Catholic schools, there was a loss of 90 pupils.
Three parishes,
St. Albert the Great in
1959,
St. Basil in
1960, and
St. Victor in
1964, were created from the territory of
Assumption Parish within six years of the opening of Assumption School.
However, the number of parishioners in Assumption continued to grow and is still growing, but with more transients because of apartment buildings.
A
library was established the same year the school opened.
From a minimum of fiction and reference
books, the holdings of the library increased year by year to include books and audio-visual materials in all subjects.
This was all funded by the
school.
Provisions are made for the instruction of Catholic students not attending Assumption School in the Confraternity of
Christian Doctrine classes.
