Patrician High School
The Patrician High School was established at the turn of the century to provide second level education for the sons of Catholic families in the area.
The Viscount Weymouth Grammar School, since closed, was already well established to cater for the children and Church of Ireland families.
Dean Birmingham, PP, invited the Patrician Brothers to the town to manage the school and gave them his own house (the building now known as the Old Monastery) for the purpose. The school was set up in one room in the house and one room in the backyard. There were eight pupils.
