Grange (which is An Ghráinseach in Irish) is a small village. You can find it near Clonmel in County Tipperary, Ireland.

The Story of Grange

The village of Grange has an interesting past. A catholic church was built here in 1829. This church became an important part of the community.

Grange School History

Later, in 1857, a school was opened right next to the church. At first, it had separate classes for boys and girls. Thomas Hackett taught the boys, and his wife, Bridget, taught the girls.

In 1932, the school principal, James Mulcahy, decided to combine the boys' and girls' classes. This meant they all learned together in one school. Later, in January 1967, the Grange school joined with the national school in North Grange. Nineteen students from North Grange moved to the Grange School.

Sport in Grange

The village is home to a local sports team called Ballybacon-Grange GAA. This team plays hurling, which is a very fast and exciting Irish sport. They are part of the Gaelic Athletic Association, which organizes traditional Irish games.
