Pobalscoil Chloich Cheannfhaola (PCC), also known as PCC Falcarragh, is a voluntary/state-funded, coeducational, inter-denominational secondary school in Falcarragh, Co. Donegal, Ireland. Located north of the town centre of Falcarragh, its catchment area includes the districts of Cloughaneely, Dunfanaghy and Creeslough, although they have also traditionally attracted some students from Gweedore and The Rosses.

History[]

Pobalscoil Chloich Cheannfhaola was founded in 1972, replacing Gortahork Vocational School, which had been the main secondary school in the area since 1961.[citation needed]

Uniform[]

The school uniform consists of a maroon jumper with PCC crest, grey shirt, maroon tie with grey stripes, and grey trousers or skirt.[citation needed][relevant?]

The school sports colours are sky blue jerseys with navy blue shorts and navy blue socks. The school did have a history of playing in several different colours over the years, often favouring green jerseys similar to nearby Glenea United in soccer.[citation needed]

Sport[]

Soccer, gaelic football and basketball are the main sporting activities of the school. The school has won several All-Ireland and Ulster titles in all three sports.
