It is now ten years since Coleraine High School officially closed and amalgamed with Coleraine Academical Institution to became Coleraine Grammar School.

To mark this, an ‘End of an Era’ reunion dinner is being organised for Saturday, May 31, at the Lodge Hotel in the town.

So we decided to take a look back through the photographic archives at some memories of events at ‘the High’.

See if you can recognise anyone?
