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.Scoil Uí Cheithearnaigh was founded in 1990 with just 6 children. Carmel Uí Fhearghail was our first teacher and principal.
