St. Brendan's Community School is a secondary school located in the town of Birr, County Offaly in the midlands of Ireland. The school was opened in January 1980 following an amalgamation of the following schools that were in operation around the town; Presentation College (Oxmantown Mall), Mercy Sisters Convent (Wilmer Road) and the Vocational School (Green St). The first principal of the school was Brother Denis, who remained in that position until 1998, when he was succeeded by Tom Foley.[citation needed] The school has a strong hurling tradition, and has produced many hurlers (including Brian Whelahan) who have won All-Ireland titles at both club and county level. The school draws pupils from across South Offaly and North Tipperary.[citation needed] The school's architecture has previously been compared to a "tractor shed".[1]
The principal is Ms. Ming Loughnane.[citation needed]
