Venerable Honora Nagle, known informally as Nano Nagle, she was the founder of our School and also she was a pioneer of Catholic education in Ireland despite legal prohibitions. She founded the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary (PBVM), commonly known as the Presentation Sisters, now a worldwide Catholic institute of women religious.

Nano Nagle was born in Ballygriffin, in the parish of Killavullen, County Cork, Nagle's first school opened with about 30 students.
The French Petites Écoles provided the model on which to base her schools, but she was to develop her own system of education. She described in a letter her ideas for education. Nagle "began to visit the sick and the elderly after school, bringing them food, medicine and comfort."
