It was a sad occasion in June when we gathered in the school hall to mark the retirement of our principal Mr. Pat Duggan. Pupils, staff, parents, members of the community and Mr. Duggan's family all came to say goodbye and wish him well. The proceedings began with Mass celebrated by Fr. Comiskey. The school choir sang accompanied by Sr. Rita. Many tributes were paid to Mr. Duggan, his personal qualities and his work. Mr. Duggan came to Greaghrahan N.S. in 1989 and has been principal for the past twenty four years. He led many changes over the years including the extension and refurbishment of the school building in 2004.  Presentations were made by the Board of Management, the Parent Association and the pupils of the school. The occasion finished with refreshments for everyone. We thank you Mr. Duggan and we all wish you a long, healthy and happy retirement.
