AFTER almost 40 years of service, a school principal was given a big send off this week as he headed into retirement. 

Charlie Cannon was given a guard of honour by students and staff at Errigal College as he bid farewell.

Charlie has been within the Donegal ETB for nigh-on 40 years.

“Even though our students were restricted in what they could do to mark the occasion, they did us proud on Friday and gave Mr Cannon a send-off he deserved,” Errigal College said.

Principal for the school for the last eight years, he has been teaching for 38-and-a-half years and has been at Errigal College for the last 35 years.

Danny McFadden will take over as the new principal of Errigal College.
