🎓 Behind Every Graduation Is an Incredible Team

As families gather to celebrate the Class of 2026, there is a tremendous amount of work happening behind the scenes to make each graduation ceremony possible.

From transforming football fields and event spaces to setting up seating, staging, technology, signage, and countless other details, dedicated staff members spend hours preparing for these milestone celebrations. Their work often happens well before the first guest arrives and long after the last graduate leaves.

We want to send out a special thank-you to our custodial teams, facilities staff, technology staff, administrators, and all those who contribute behind the scenes to create a memorable experience for graduates and their families. Your hard work, teamwork, and attention to detail help make these celebrations possible.

Thank you for everything you do to support our students and make graduation a success!

This week is full of celebrations, milestones, and farewells. GAPS started this week off by celebrating the employees retiring this year and thanking them for their years of service to students, families, and our community.

The evening was filled with smiles, laughter, hugs, memories, and yes, a few tears as colleagues reflected on the impact these individuals have made throughout their careers.

Each retiree leaves behind a legacy of dedication, care, and commitment that has helped shape the lives of countless students and staff members. While we will miss their presence, we are excited for them as they begin this next chapter.

A special thank you to the Albany Public Schools Foundation and Genuine Foods for helping make the evening extra special by providing gifts, treats, and support in celebration of our retirees.

Congratulations to our retirees, and thank you for everything you have contributed to Greater Albany Public Schools! 🎉

Poetry Night at Memorial Middle School

The MMS Poetry Collective invites the community to an evening of poetry, creativity, and expression at Poetry Night on Friday, May 29 at 6:30 PM in the Memorial Middle School Library.

Guests are invited to come listen or sign up to read poetry, whether it is your own work or a favorite piece from someone else. The event is free and open to the public.

As Alice Walker said, “Poetry is the lifeblood of rebellion, revolution, and the raising of consciousness.”

Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating the power of words and student voice. You just might hear something that changes your world. ✨

Today, West Albany High School students participated in a powerful day focused on mental health, encouragement, and connection.

Led by WAHS ASB President Dima Stein and the ASB leadership team, students rotated through activities designed to support wellness and positive mental health, including yoga, encouragement stations, and a truly amazing motivational presentation from Marquis Hill.

A huge thank you to Marquis Hill for sharing his story, energy, and message with WAHS students today. His presentation challenged students to believe in themselves, overcome obstacles, and support one another.

We also want to recognize the incredible work of Dima Stein and the WAHS ASB students for organizing this meaningful event, as well as the WAHS staff who helped create an environment where student leadership and student voice can thrive.

We are so proud of the way our students continue creating opportunities that build connection, belonging, and support for one another. 💙💛
