Contents
Slemish first opened its doors in September 1996 with 84 pupils. The school has an annual intake of 120. It is one of the most oversubscribed schools in Northern Ireland. In June 2008 the college was given specialist school status in the area of the Humanities (Geography and English). It is the first specialist school in the Ballymena area and one of only three schools in the province to specialise in humanities.
The college is named after Slemish Mountain near Ballymena in mid-Antrim, which tradition suggests was home to Saint Patrick during his youth.
