Malahide Community School

Malahide Community School (MCS; ) is a co-educational secondary school located in Malahide, County Dublin, Ireland. It accepts pupils of all religious denominations. The school grew from 512 students in 1976 to 1200 students by 2006, and remained at around 1200 as of 2018. History Foundation In the early 1950s, Catherine Dowling set up the Stella Maris School in Malahide village. In 1958, the Infant Jesus Sisters founded Scoil Íosa, a junior and secondary school for girls, on what are now the grounds of Malahide Community School. The two schools were amalgamated. In 1976, the school joined the community school system which meant that it was no longer private, and it was renamed Pobalscoil Íosa. The school population at that time was just over 500. A new building, now known as the Junior Block, was added, followed shortly afterward by a sports hall.
