Former Longford school teacher receives Student of the Year accolade at ceremony

A FORMER Longford secondary school teacher has achieved a top award at the annual Hibernia College conferring ceremony held at Dublin’s Convention Centre.

Angela O’Mahony, a distinguished Primary Education graduate hailing from Cavan, achieved the coveted 'top of her class' status having began her educational career at Cnoc Mhuire Granard where she imparted the richness of the Irish language to the students.

Now, her accomplishments have reached new heights as she not only secured her Masters qualification but also claimed the distinguished title of the overall Student of the Year. 

The accolades did not stop there for Angela, as she was also honored with the coveted INTO Vere Foster Medal. This accolade, awarded by the Irish National Teachers' Organisation (INTO), recognises Angela's under the title, Outstanding Performance in School Placement.

Angela was part of a cohort of graduates who contributed to the institution witnessing the largest-ever number of teachers graduating this year.
