St. Colman's College, Fermoy

St. Colman's College (Irish: Coláiste Cholmáin) is an all-boys secondary school in Fermoy, County Cork. The school was founded in 1856 and opened in 1858 as the diocesan college of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cloyne. Archbishop Thomas Croke became the school's first President in this year. The school once accepted both day pupils and boarders, but this is no longer the case.

The school has a strong hurling tradition and has won the Dr. Harty Cup nine times. Today the sport is as strong as ever but the College also has a much more diverse sporting ethos.

Mrs. Veronica O'Donoghue is the current Principal.
