History

The school was established when the Sisters of Mercy opened a convent in Templemore in 1863. In 1955 the Convent School became a Voluntary Secondary School, catering for around three hundred girls, including eighty boarders. The Christian Brothers School opened in 1932, providing secondary education for boys. In 1985, the two schools amalgamated to form Our Lady's Secondary School, combining the philosophies of Catherine McAuley and Edmund Ignatius Rice. Up to that point, the Christian Brothers School had been known as Templemore CBS. Co-operation had existed between the two communities since the 1930s.

In 2003, St. Sheelan's Vocational College ceased to provide secondary education and merged with Our Lady's to become the only secondary school in the town. In 2007, enrollment was approximately 500 students. [1]

In 2007, the school began operating under the trusteeship of CEIST Catholic Education an Irish Schools Trust.
