About the same date (1819) a school was established in the townland of Tullymore, where the school house still remains. There is no record in the Vestry Minutes of any moneys having been levied off the parish towards the erection of the school house (which was at first thatched). We find, however, a small grant for repairs, April 24, 1821, when the Vestry ‘Resolved that the sum of two guineas be levied off this parish for the repairs of the school house at Mr. John Young’s.’ The committee for 1861 consisted of Hugh Copeland, Robert Small, James Shannon, Joseph McKnight, William Waddell, Samuel B. Marshall, Joseph Copeland, Joseph Neill, Arthur Graham, James Young, Archibald Marshall, Joseph Clegg, and Samuel Gibson.

The first teacher of the school was John McMullen (Roman Catholic), who had as pupils in 1820 14 Roman Catholics, 5 Presbyterians, and 1 Irish Church child.

Subsequent teachers (so far as known): Mrs. Nesbit, Wm. Gordon,-Hamilton, - McElroy, George Hare, George Gillespie, Wm. Donaldson, Miss Agnes Sloan, Miss Minnie Sloan, and Miss Hudson.

A board over the entrance to the Donaughmore National School House bears the following: ‘Donaghmore National School-Erected by subscription A.D. 1859.’ (‘Donaughmore is a misspellig.)

The Donaghmore N.S. was opened April 1, 1860, the fist teacher being Robert Sloan (appointed April 16), who for upwards of thirty years filled the position with credit to himself and the satisfaction of all concerned. He resigned January 1, 1891. He was Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages for the district from 1861 till his death, February 3, 1898.

After this date the succession of teachers is as follows: Edward Simpson, Robert Gordon, James McLaughlin, Miss K. Robinson, and Miss E. Jeannie McAlister (married Christy McClean), who was succeeded by her sister, Miss Molly McAlister, the present principal and efficient teacher.

Miss Gertrude McGaffin, the competent assistant teacher, was appointed October 1, 1912. The school is under the management of the Rev. Lawson Burnett, with whom is associated the following committee: J. Gordon Young, Wm. Cummins, A.W. Dillon, John Irwin, Joseph Patterson, and the Rev. J. Davison Cowan, L.L.D.

In 1820 there was a good school in the townland of Ballymacrattybeg, the teacher of which was Robert Bell (a Seceeder). His salary was 20 pounds per annum. He had as pupils (1820) 18 Irish Church Children, 12 Presbyterians, and 8 Roman Catholics

The Fourtowns National School is situated in the townland of Killysavan. The present manager is Falkiner B. Small, while his predecessors in that capacity seem to have been the respective ministers of the Fourtowns Church. The present school-house was built in 1836, by subscription, and opened as a National School in 1837.

The following is the succession of teachers;

-Bell, 1837; Alexander Cummins, 1846; Miss Annie Henderson, 1872 (married James jenkins, and continued to teach as Mrs. Jenkins); Miss M. Helena Cuyler, 1890; Miss Mary E. Malcomson, 1894 (she married, in 1898, Joseph Wylie of Killysavan, and continued as teacher till 1908); Mrs. Joseph Wylie (re-appointed), 1908. Miss Minnie Young, the present efficient principal teacher, was appointed October 1910.

An attempt had been made to establish a school in Killysavan so far back as 1819-when the Vestry of the parish church thus resolved: ‘We present the sum of twenty pounds for the purpose of building a school-house in the townland of Killysavan, provided the proprietor of the estate or his accredited agent gives from under his hand that he will give over his right to said parish of the site of said school-house, together with the occupier of the farm at the present’which documents are to be produced at the next Vestry, and entered on said Vestry Book-otherwise this grant be void.’ The following note is appended to the resolution: ‘The condition of the above Act not complied with, 1^st May, 1820.’

There are two flourishing National schools in Glen, viz. Derrycraw and Barr, both of which are under the management of the parish priest.

The Derrycraw School-House was erected about 1818 by the Corrys, who owned the adjoining property.

The first teacher was D. O’Gorman, whose salary amounted to the magnificent sum of 8 pounds per annum and fees of the pupils, viz. Twopence per week from each! In 1820 he had, as pupils on his roll, 21 Roman Catholics, six Established Church children, and three Presbyterians. He was succeeded (so far as can be known) by teachers named Cunningham and Madden.

The school was taken into connection with the National Board in 1848, as a male and female school, which were amalgamated in 1889.

The following is the succession of teachers, so far as can be known from existing records:

Girls’ School.-Mrs. Isabella Rooney (1848-1869 and 1879-1888); Patrick Murray (1869-1878); Daniel Byrne (portion, 1889); James Byrne (portion, 1889-1900).

Amalgamated School.-Patrick McGennis (1891-1918) and Mrs. Ellen McGennis (1900-1918). The present competent teachers (appointed January 1, 1918) are Owen Finegan (Principal) and Miss McNulty (assistant).

There was a school at Barr in 1820 with 80 pupils, fees 1 ½ d. per week, the teacher being Jane Madool.

The present Barr School was founded and the building erected in 1839. The succession of teachers is as follows: …. Fegan, Michael Boyle, Peter Murphy, Patrick Carroll, Mrs. Mary Bell, Charles Grant, John Malone, Peter Thompson, Miss Catherine McAuliffe, Miss Mary Anne Timoney, and Mrs. Catherine Logan, the present and capable principal teacher.

There was formerly a good school in Corgary townland, known as Dromantine School. The schoolhouse, a fine building, was erected in 1847 at a cost of 1500 pounds. It was opened as a National School in 1848. There were a girls and boys’ school. The first teachers were Mrs. Cuthbert and her husband, who wer succeeded by Mrs. Francis and her husband.

From J. Davison Cowan book titled "Donaghmore, An Ancient Irish Parish, Past & Present" published in 1914.

Note: There seems to be confusion over the Original "Old School" being in Tullymore versus Ringclare.  From these writings, I would say the Original School was in Ringclare and the Second (New) School in Tullymore.
