Sister City Program
The Sister City Program with Tisovec, Slovakia was first proposed in the summer of 1999. Tisovec is a small picturesque town in central Slovakia with a population of nearly 5000. It is situated in the valley of the river Rimava at the foot of the Muranska plateau. The name "Tisovec" comes from the "yew" tree which can be found in the hills around the town. The first delegation from Shenandoah visited there in May of 2000 firmly establishing the strong bond that now exists. The Head Mistress, Dr. Helena Pasiakova of the Lutheran School, Evankelicke Gymanizium Tisovec visited the United States in 2004, spending several days in Shenandoah. Her visit here led to the return visit by a delegation from Tisovec to Shenandoah in the summer of 2005. In turn, Shenandoah went to Tisovec in 2006.
