Great things are happening in Albany's public schools. And that's partly because we have so many great students!
The 2018-19 school calendar features the faces of 26 exceptional young people in the City School District of Albany. They are but a small fraction of the outstanding students who attend our schools.
The calendar students stand out in a variety of ways. Some excel in academics, sports, fine arts, visual arts or performing arts. Other are actively involved in community service. And still other are leaders, problem-solvers and scholars, like Onovu Otitigbe-Dangerfield of Albany High School pictured at right.
Choosing individual students to represent their school and the district always presents an enormous challenge because so many of our 9,500 kids meet the definition of exceptional.
