Stair na Scoile 
Scoil Bhride is dedicated to Saint Brigid. We honour Saint Brigid on the first day of February each year, through hymns, prayers, stories and art work.
Early documentary references indicate that there was a school at Crossmahon in 1826. The commissioners of Irish Education Inquiry for that year state that there was a school held in the apartments of a slated house at Crossmahon. The master was Jeremiah Cronin and twenty eight Roman Catholics attended. There was also a school in the nearby townland of Mayfield. The master Michael O' Driscoll taught twenty four pupils in the kitchen of a dwelling house.
The first known schoolhouse at Crossmahon was situated at the actual cross roads, opposite the pub. Mr. Johnny Crowley, shopkeeper in Mayfield, taught in this school. This school was replaced in 1887 when the new National school for boys and girls was built. For the first ten years fees were received ranging from one shilling to twenty shillings annually per pupil.
Pupils were examined in a wide range of subjects such as reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, grammar, geography, geometry, algebra, book-keeping, agriculture, drawing, needle work, sewing,, crochet and fine under-clothing.
