The Christian Brothers initially arrived in Mitchelstown on 29th January 1857, at the invitation of the Parish Priest. The people of Mitchelstown were more than willing to support the Brothers and in a matter of weeks, the total number of students had reached three hundred. At that time, both Primary and Secondary were accommodated in the same building. In June 1866, the first public examinations took place in the school. With the advent of Independence in 1922, the Brothers found that more and more boys were enrolling. The Primary School wasn’t adequate to cater for the number of students. A separate Primary School was built on the same campus and completed in 1948. Our school today has been greatly extended and modernised.

Over the years, many eminent Brothers and lay teaching staff, have worked diligently for the education of boys in Mitchelstown. In 1998, for the last time, the Christian Brothers Community left Mitchelstown. In September 1998, Mary O’Callaghan was appointed first lay Principal, of the Primary School. There continues to be great co-operation between both Primary and Secondary schools, here at Brigown.
