The Skidmore-Tynan Elementary School has been awarded the "Blue Ribbon of Excellence" - one of only 214 schools nationwide to receive the prestigious award. Skidmore shared the honor with 23 other Texas schools but was the only South Texas school recognized. The continuing efforts of elementary principal Patty Holubec and her excellent teaching staff increased TAAS Scores in all student groups including Hispanic, Anglo and socioeconomic students. To be eligible for the Blue Ribbon Award, schools must either have 40% of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that dramatically improve in student performance or students, regardless of background, must score in the top 10% on the state tests. The Blue Ribbon schools will be honored during award ceremonies in Washington, D.C. on October 30-31, 2003
