Scoil Mhuire Lacken opened in 1950 and  is   presently a seven  teacher school,  located  outside the town of Ballinagh. Many of our students follow in the footsteps of their Parents,  Grandparents  and in  some cases their great Grandparents as they continue a long tradition of attending school in the parish of Potahee.  
The school currently has four mainstream classrooms,  two Special  Education  classrooms,  a  General Purpose  hall, soft  play area,  spacious playground, football  pitch,  school garden  and our very own STEAM room. 
Scoil Mhuire is  a  school were  everyone's abilities and  talents are fostered and nurtured.
