The directors of the school are Rose Fearon, ADCRG, Vincent O’Connor, ADCRG and Kathleen O’Connor, ADCRG.

Students in the Butler-Fearon-O’Connor School have won numerous titles, including North American, Great Britain, All-​Scotland, All-​Ireland, and World Champion. Several senior dancers with the school have toured with or are currently touring with shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance.
