History of Scoil Naomh Feichín

Our school is named after St Fechín who is believed to have been from Collooney in County Sligo. When St Fechín left the west of Ireland he established a monastery at Fore, County Westmeath. He died of the yellow plague in the year 664. We celebrate the feast day of St. Fechín on the 20th of January each year.

For many years Termonfeckin had two separate primary schools, one for girls and one for boys. In 1936 both schools were amalgamated into a combined school which was situated at Yellow Gap. Due to antiquated facilities and lack of space, the old school at Yellow Gap was vacated in 1980 with the completion of the current school building on the Baltray Road. The foundation stone of the new school was blessed by Cardinal Tomás O Fiaich in 1980.
