Athlone Community College

The Old Vocational School on Northgate Street moved to the Retreat Road site in 1974, when Athlone Community College was built to cater for 500 students.[6] In May 2024, the school announced the retirement of principal Eileen Donohoe after 47 years of teaching in Athlone Community College.[7] In a post on social media, the school praised Donohoe's "dedication, passion and unwavering commitment".[9] The school offers both the Junior and Leaving Certificate cycles, as well as Transition Year.[10][11] Athlone Community College is involved in a variety of sports, including Gaelic football, soccer and rugby.
