May 5th is the feast of Blessed Edmund Rice, an Irish businessman who was so moved by the plight of children in the port city of Waterford where he worked that he founded schools and eventually a religious order to serve them.

We are a voluntary Catholic Secondary School for boys under the trusteeship of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust, focusing on the importance of a value-based Christian education in the Catholic tradition. Our school will endeavour to educate our students so that as emerging adults they can participate fully in community and family life, work and leisure.

CBS Ennistymon is proud to be part of the Edmund Rice Schools Trust (ERST). ERST Schools actively promote partnership in 96 Irish school communities. We pride ourselves in the multicultural pluralism that is evident in our schools.
