Not only is another issue of the Tyler Star News released today – Aug. 15, 2018, but today also marks the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year for many Tyler County students.

The beginning of a new school year is exciting for parents, their children, and also the staff here at the Tyler Star News. It means a fresh season of fall sports for sports writers, and it also means the opportunity to share more good news – such as academic accomplishments and extracurricular pursuits.

We encourage our local schools and readers to send those pieces of good news our way. We consider it an honor to publish school happenings. It is a sign of a promising future, something we can all celebrate.
