History
Mohill Community College opened in September 2008 following the amalgamation of Marian College (1949–2008) and Mohill Vocational School (1932–2008). Initially operating from two sites, the college moved to a new state‑of‑the‑art building on 9 March 2009. The school is governed locally by a Board of Management under the joint trusteeship of the Mercy Sisters, Western Province and the Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim Education and Training Board.
