St Mary's Grammar School ((アイルランド語:Scoil Mhuire Machaire Fíolta)) is a grammar school in Magherafelt, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. St. Mary's was first found in 1927. Ten girls were enrolled in the first year under the principalship of Sister Tracey. The school flourished and grew throughout the 40s under the principalship of Sister Marie Therese Harte. With the school's continued academic success, the need for more accommodation became urgent and in 1954 the first extension was built. September 1978 marked a significant milestone in the history of the school: 37 boys were enrolled in St. Mary's along with 587 girls. In 1984 new accommodation was again required. Under the leadership of Sister Immaculata O'Connor, Principal (1977-1995) the Friends of St. Mary's was formed with the purpose of raising funds to finance the building programme. The £6 million extension was formally opened by Cardinal Daly on 8 December 1994. It includes a large sports hall, fitness suite, science block, technology block -drama/lecture theatre, careers suite, Sixth Form study area and general purpose classrooms. Tennis courts, grass and all weather pitches complement the indoor sports facilities. In 2003, the school trustees completed the latest phase of the development programme when Cafe Bordeaux and the new classroom extension were opened. The school's first lay Principal, Mrs W A O'Kane (1995-2004) was responsible for further enhancing the academic reputation of the school and widening its extra-curricular portfolio. Today, St. Mary's Grammar School has over eleven hundred pupils on roll, with an equal ratio of boys and girls and serves three counties: Londonderry, Antrim and Tyrone. September 2004 marked another beginning in the school's history with the appointment of its first male Principal, Mr D A Lambon. The school has many extracurricular societies, such as Club Mhuire, a Young Pioneer group, girls and boys football teams, Highly successful camogie teams, French clubs, geography club, science club and many more. St. Mary's Grammar School achieved All-Ireland Camogie success in 2007. The current principal is Mrs D Gillespie. ==Geography Club== The Saint Mary's Geographic Society (Geography club) is currently run by geography teacher Alison Stevenson with help from fellow head of department Cora Bradley and Una McNeill.
