Back to school

As students attending Tyburn Academy of Mary Immaculate start cramming notebooks and folders, pens and pencils into backpacks for the opening of school next week, administrators and teachers will be gearing up for a monumental year.

The Auburn parochial school will commemorate three milestones in the coming days, weeks and months. Tyburn is not just celebrating 15 years of service to the community and a student enrollment that has doubled this year.

Founded by the late Rev. Albert Shamon, the institution launched as a high school in 1993 will officially open its doors to middle school students when the school year begins Wednesday.
