Most Donegal schools reopened this morning for the coming academic year. Coláiste Ailigh in Letterkenny was one such school who welcomed 48 excited first years this morning.
Coláiste Ailigh is a gaelscoil which was officially opened by Enda Kenny in 2014 following the school’s relocation to Knocknamona.
Sam MacGinty, who completed his Leaving Certificate at the school, got offered a scholarship worth over $60,000 at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, one of America’s leading universities.
The school also ranked number 33 on the Sunday Times’ list of the Top 100 schools in Ireland.
Good luck to all first years across the county who started at ‘the big school’ today, agus ádh mór!
