In 1793 Nano Nagle and Bishop Moylan founded the Killarney Presentation Convent. Nagle, founder of the Presentation Order and pioneer of Catholic Irish education, lead a wealthy and privileged life in France for most of her youth. Upon her return to Ireland, she braved imprisonment and death to establish Presentation Catholic schools. The Killarney site began as a convent, establishing a school in 1887. The school's main building is an attractive brick structure with many period features. Arched windows framed by arched concrete moldings attest to its religious associations. The school was extended in 1980, but has maintained its original street frontage.
