Welcome To Lurgan Junior High School
Parents, Carers, Pupils
As a school with a strong reputation for academic and sporting excellence, we resolutely believe that our girls and boys deserve every possible opportunity to succeed in all areas of their educational lives and fervently wish for them to go out and change the world for the better.
Over the course of the last 60 years, our school family has encouraged our young people to value the joy of learning and to become confident and productive individuals, able to make the right decisions and determining to always give their best. Our core Christian values remain unchanged and we are unashamedly proud of them - the timeless qualities of humanity, courtesy and empathy for others.
In an ever-changing world, we believe that our consistent promotion of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience in all their forms, along with the myriad of high quality educational opportunities which we afford our pupils, are as relevant to the world today as they were when our school was founded back in 1959. We continue to strive to ensure that our talented pupils make the most of their amazing gifts and give their best in everything that they do.

Principal
In early 2025, Lurgan Junior High School proudly unveiled our official mascot McGrath! Inspired by the legendary Master McGrath, Lord Lurgan's own remarkable greyhound, this choice goes far beyond a simple symbol. Master McGrath's story resonates deeply with our school's core values, embodying the 3Rs we strive to instill in every pupil: Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience.
Just as Master McGrath overcame challenges and achieved greatness, our pupils are encouraged to embrace these values in their own journeys. Master McGrath’s legacy is the foundation for our motto, ‘Swift to Learn; Ready to Lead!’ in all areas of school life and beyond.
