Loreto Secondary School, St. Michael's, is an all-girls secondary school in the town of Navan, County Meath in Ireland. The school, which opened in 1833, is situated on the banks of the River Boyne on Convent Road. The Loreto Sisters St. Michael's Convent adjoins the main and oldest part of the school, with a day-care centre for the elderly situated at the side. There are approximately 52 staff members, including teachers, two career guidance counsellors and ancillary staff. As of 2020, there were 806 students enrolled.

Extra curriculum

The school has run a "social justice week" in March of every year. During this week, guest speakers sometimes have been invited to discuss issues of poverty and inequality, racism and refugees, human rights and care of the environment. Adi Roche, of the Chernobyl Children's Project, gave an opening address at one of the school's social justice weeks.

The school has also provided a variety of sports, and its teams participate in local, regional and national leagues. Sports have included hockey, camogie, Gaelic football, basketball, fitness classes, athletics and soccer.
