I n the late 1970s all three of the old school buildings were demolished to make room for a new school. The new school is a 10 classroom building to accommodate K-5.
Also located in Myton is the Con Amour School for special children. This facility was built in 1977 and is the only school for handicapped in our area.
The Learning Center
A bout five years ago the Presbyterian Church, in conjunction with the K-3 Program, opened the Learning Center to tutor area children at the request of schools or parents.
Most teachers -- high school and college students, parents and concerned citizens -- volunteer their time. During the school year the center works with 35 to 40 students each afternoon. In summertime, the center hosts a special program. Children arrive in the morning, eat a free lunch at the Elementary School, and return to the center for afternoon classes. In 1995 eighty students participated in the Summer Program.
