Bunaíodh Scoil Uí Cheithearnaigh sa bhliain 1990, le seisear daltaí. B’í Carmel Uí Fhearghail an chéad mhúinteoir agus príomhoide na scoile. An chéad seomra ranga a bhí againn ná sean siopa Gruagaire, ar ball bhogamar isteach i sean caife agus ó shin go siopa rothair.
Nuair nach raibh spás ar bith eile fágtha i gCúirt an Chumainn, bhogamar isteach ins na seomraí feistis i Halla an Bhaile. Freisin, bhí oifigí agus tuilleadh seomraí againn in iar-oifig dlíodóra. Bhí na foirgnimh sin ar fad ar chíos ag an scoil.
I gcónaí bhíodh ár bpáiste le feiceáil ag siúl na sráideanna ag dul ó rang go rang.
I Méan Fómhair 2005 bhogamar isteach in ár scoil nua i gCéide Ghearrbhaile.
Scoil Uí Cheithearnaigh was founded in 1990 with just 6 children. Carmel Uí Fhearghail was our first teacher and principal. Our first class was taught in a converted hair salon in Society Street, later on the school moved in to a former café and bike shop, and then to the town hall.
Our children were a regular sight on Society Street as they went from class to class.
In September 2005 we moved into our new school in Garbally Drive.
