To enable
Limavady exiles to remember the days gone by when they were
younger and
often better looking, I present some pictures of what the four main
post-primary schools in the area
look like these days. Much has changed or is in the process of
changing, only old memories
are constant. |

Limavady's
Schools This statue of the the famous hound that jumped the Roe can be seen in the grounds of the High School. It seems to show the creature after a heavy landing on the other side of the river, because one front paw is broken and a hind leg is badly damaged. |
 Limavady High School
This splendid educational establishment was completely revamped a few years back. All the old huts have gone and they have several thousand students who - like the clients of St Mary's next door are a fine and sometimes well-behaved body of students. |
 St Mary's High
School
This school has also had a face-lift a few years back. Together with Limavady High they are responsible for 90 percent of morning and evening traffic jams in Limavady. |
 The
Tech
Traditionally further education has been neglected in Northern Ireland and the Tech is no exception. Currently they are revamping the front and ground floor of the building. I will show you a better picture when the builders move out. Those colours are something else! |
 The
Grammar School
A large and well financed establishment. Like the other schools in town it has been recently enlarged. In fact, the place seems to grow larger as you watch it. |
