Tradition

 

The story of Loreto Schools began in 1609 when Mary Ward founded the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Loreto Secondary School, Balbriggan, which followed Mary Ward's direction, was established in 1857. A modern school building was opened in 1983. A Board of Management was established in 1989. The demand for places in this all girls school led to a further extension, Mary Ward House, which was opened in 1998. The school is currently embarking on a further expansion and construction work in this latest phase is expected to commence in September 2004.
