The best of the best at Mulroy College were celebrated with a number of awards ceremonies this week.
Students were celebrated at the school’s annual Junior, TY and Senior awards.
With everyone looking forward to their exams and holidays in the next month, awards being handed out are always a welcome reprieve at this time of year.
Some famous Donegal figures also showed up to help give out the awards, with current Donegal Person of the Year Moya Brennan, Donegal footballing legend Eamon McGee and radio icon Lee Gooch on hand to hand out the prizes.
Thanks to Clive Wasson Photography for these great snaps of the awards.
