Summerhill College (aka The College of the Immaculate Conception) is a Roman Catholic voluntary secondary school for boys in Sligo, County Sligo, Ireland. The school was first founded in 1892 by the then Bishop of Elphin Dr Gillooly in Summerhill, Athlone, County Roscommon. It moved to temporary accommodation in Sligo in 1899 and to a new school building (the present site) in 1901. Although the official name of the school is the College of the Immaculate Conception, it has always been known locally as Summerhill or Summerhill College. The College is what is sometimes known as a Diocesan College, historically an entry school for those wishing to train as priests for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Elphin. The college took in both boarders and day boys until the dorms were closed in mid-1970 due to medical circumstances. The school offers the traditional Junior and Leaving Certificate cycles to its pupils. It also provides other options such as Transition Year, Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) and Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA). Summerhill College has a proud sporting tradition in soccer and Gaelic football.
