St Joseph's Convent Grammar School

St Josephs Grammar School , Donaghmore, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, is a Catholic school catering for 700 pupils aged between 11 and 18.

It was founded by the Daughters of the Cross originally from Belgium, who had been active in Britain and Ireland since 1869. Canon Joseph O’Neill of Donaghmore invited the order to establish a convent and school in 1920. Miss Frances Ellis, a great benefactress of the Daughters of the Cross, donated the then-significant sum of £987 for the school at the time of its foundation. It was an all-girls school, until 2003, when it became co-ed. In 2007 the religious sisters left the school and it is now entirely staffed by lay teachers.
