Athletics
I feel a bit like a broken record, but TYS athletics continues to dominate on so many levels.
On February 26, 2025 we recognized our Middle and Senior School athletes of the term. These athletes play with enthusiasm and consistently display both a positive attitude and respect for sport. Congratulations winners!
