Wilson's Hospital School was founded in 1761 by Andrew Wilson. It was founded as a school for young Protestant boys (often of limited means) and also as a hospital for old men, some of whom were retired soldiers. Over time the school ceased functioning as a hospital but still retained this title within its name.
The school became co-educational in 1969 when it was amalgamated with the Preston School from Navan. which gives the newer classroom block its name 'The Preston Building'
