1948-2008, S-TISD Celebrates 60 Years of Education

The Skidmore-Tynan Independent School District will celebrate 60 years of existence during Homecoming week, ending with the football game against Taft on October 10, 2008. In celebration of its first 60 years, the District would like to recognize the “Greats of The Eights”.

In looking back over the years, S-TISD has seen many great students go through its system. That is why we are inviting the community and all grads to come and celebrate 60 years in our pregame activities which will include recognizing those students who graduated in 1948, 1958, 1968, 1978, 1988, 1998 and 2008. If you graduated in one of the “Greats of the Eights” years your admission into the game will be free as well as 2 additional family members. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALL GRADUATES ARE ENCOURAGED TO JOIN US, not just the “eights!”

We welcome any group who would like to gather before or after the game and visit about the old times. Please inform the school district if your group would like a place to visit before or after the game.

S-TISD appreciates graduates who have placed their confidence in our school and have been loyal to their alma mater. Please let us take this special time to pay tribute to your part in the District’s success.

If you have any requests for special accommodations or if your class wishes to have a special seating area at the ballgame, please contact Dr. Brett Belmarez at 361-287-3426.
