Loreto College is an all-girls catholic secondary school in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland. It is connected with the international group of schools served by the Sisters of Loreto.

History[]

The school was opened in 1853 by Sister Bernadette O'Connor, a Loreto sister originally from County Sligo.

On 5 May 2011, Minister Willie Penrose officially turned over the first sod signifying the start of a major extension / refurbishment programme to take place in the Loreto College, Mullingar.^{[citation needed]} Work then commenced on a new gymnasium, new office space- allowing the current office space to be turned into classrooms, new playing fields consisting of a basketball court and Astroturf, the conversion of the existing canteen into science labs and the general refurbishment of the existing school building.^{[citation needed]} It is hoped that all 750 students and staff will be settled into their new improved school within twelve to eighteen months.^{[when?][needs update]}
