This year, Lyons Central School District is proud to launch Yard Fest at Homecoming: a celebration of Lyons Legacy and Alumni Pride.
We will be honoring the Classes of the “6” (1956, 1966, 1976, 1986, 1996, 2006, 2016) while also looking ahead to the Class of 2026, our future graduates who will carry the Lyons tradition forward for years to come.
What to Expect at Yard Fest:
-Food Truck Rodeo with local favorites (5+ food trucks will be available)
-The Decades Band playing the greatest hits of each generation
- Alumni and community connections
- Lyons' memorabilia and keepsakes
-Yard games, bounce houses, and fun for all ages
Recognition of honored alumni classes and the Class of 2026 at halftime of the Lyons Football Homecoming game
Yard Fest is more than just an event—it’s a reflection of who we are: grounded in our roots, proud of our history, and united in celebrating the Lyons legacy across generations.

This week, our Transportation Department came together with the Lyons Town Highway Department for the annual Bus Garage Picnic as they gear up for the new school year ahead! It was a wonderful afternoon of good food, laughter, and camaraderie.
We are so grateful for the hard work, teamwork, and dedication of our bus drivers, transportation staff, and highway crew who keep our students safe.
Thank you for all you do—today was a well-deserved celebration!
