The college was built in the hometown of Edmund Ignatius Rice, the founder of the Irish Christian Brothers, the Presentation Brothers and the Edmund Rice Family.
The motto of the school appears on the school coat of arms, incorporating the Latin Facere Et Docere (To Do and To Teach). Also, just below on a scroll, appears the motto of the Christian Brothers, Nihil Alienum (Nothing Is Impossible).
The Community of the Christian Brothers was established in Callan on 12 September 1868, however, the present school was not founded until 115 years later, in 1983.
In September 2022, Coláiste Éamann Rís and St Brigid’s College amalgamated to become Coláiste Abhainn Rí, a co-educational Catholic secondary school.
