Congratulations to our graduating seniors, you have represented Skidmore-Tynan High School very well this year. As graduation begins to take its turn for our seniors, it marks the beginning of a new group of students for our High School. It also represents the beginning of a new year for the Skidmore-Tynan Athletic Booster Club. By all comments made, our annual athletic banquet was a huge success. Anthony's did a great job of serving all our students and parents in just a little over 30 minutes. Allowing someone else to serve meant that some very hard working parents also had a chance to enjoy the evening.
