Institute History
The school traces its origin back to 1806 and the foundation of Cookstown Academy by Rev Thomas Miller Senior who remained as Headmaster of the Academy until 1840.
By 1834 the Remington sisters had opened a boarding school. The boarding school eventually took the name Cookstown College.
The two schools coexisted until 1924 when they amalgamated.
