17-year-old Kamile Vaicikonitye, a year 13 pupil at the school, died in the crash alongside 19-year-old boyfriend Jamie Moore from Omagh.
One of the two young people killed in a road crash on the A5 on Tuesday night was a pupil of St Ciaran’s College Ballygawley and had attended a protest by the school calling for it to be upgraded earlier this week.
“Kamile was a bubbly, out-going girl who was very popular with both staff and pupils. “She joined our school in Year 10 and spoke excitedly about her hopes and dreams, which included going to university. "A letter has been sent by the school to parents, informing them of this incident and providing information on the support services available throughout the school.”READ MORE: Irish government funding boost for Casement Park and A5 road
"To list names and quote statistics does not do justice to the loss that is felt by families," it said. Families of former pupils bereaved by crashes that have taken place on the A5 since 2007 were in attendance at the demonstration.
