History
The Presentation Congregation was founded in Cork in 1775 by Nano Nagle, a daughter of one of the oldest families in the country. The aim was to help downtrodden citizens by the only means in her power – to provide them with schools and education. The story of Presentation, Wexford, started in October 1818, when two sisters came from the already established convent in Kilkenny. They started by opening a Primary school. About 1940 a second-level school was established and in the following years the school became a fully recognized Secondary school. |   Nano Nagle |
