Education at the school is based on the
Irish Junior Certificate and
Leaving Certificate curricula. The school once claimed to be the biggest school in Ireland with over 1600 pupils. This in fact was never the case despite school management claiming in returns to the Department of Education to have an enrollment of 1703 students. After an investigation, the actual numbers were found to be 1585, an overstatement of 118 non existent students. After this a new school was built in the neighboring town of
Moville. The current principal of the school is John McGuiness with Liz Kelly and Owen McConway as vice principals. The student population is over 1000 again at present. ==Sports==
