Triple retirement celebration at Offaly school

St Mary's Secondary School in Edenderry recently celebrated a triple retirement with a ceremony on Wednesday night.

The retirements of Ms Griffin, Ms Lee and Ms Hourigan were marked at a ceremony on Wednesday, November 11, which aimed to "celebrate and honour some very special members of the St. Mary's school community".

"[Their] years of dedication, kindness and commitment have helped shape the lives of countless students and enriched our school community in so many ways," a post by St Mary's Secondary School read.

"Their contribution to St. Mary's has been truly remarkable, and we are incredibly grateful for all they have given over the years. We wish them every happiness, good health and fulfilment as they begin this new chapter."

The event also marked another kind of departure, with Mr Page, Ms McDermott and Ms Canton moving to new schools.

"Each has made a valued contribution to life at St. Mary's, and their energy, professionalism and care for our students have left a lasting impression."
