ASH Red Dragons had a blast exploring places – and things – that are both difficult and impossible to witness in real life!

Third grade walked amongst dinosaurs and ancient castles thanks to virtual reality technology.

And while the lesson was lots of fun, Caroline Adam’s students also used descriptive words
and phrases to describe what they saw through the goggles.

We love our first responders in the City of Albany!

Thank you to members of the Albany Fire Department and Albany Police Department for visiting with our PK and kindergarten students.

We learned important fire prevention information, Halloween safety tips, asked lots of questions and loved the emergency vehicle tours.

We appreciate you keeping us all safe and also, hopefully, you inspired some of our littlest learners toward a career in helping people.

The health and well-being of our students is a shared responsibility and as part of our commitment to keeping students safe in and around water, the City School District of Albany is offering all second-grade students a new aquatics curriculum focused on water safety and swimming competence.

Our ASH Red Dragons hit the pool Wednesday and made quite the splash!

We're proud of our students and appreciate the staff who are making these important lessons possible.

Albany School of Humanities Principal Marie Culihan announced Thursday that she has accepted a new position in a neighboring school district and will be leaving ASH at the end of this month.

"Leaving ASH is not an easy decision," she said. "In fact, it has been one of the hardest professional decisions I have ever had to make because this place – your students, your families and everyone in this incredible community – has become such an important part of who I am. But I leave with such tremendous confidence in ASH because of the exceptional and deeply committed faculty and staff members who will continue to serve you."

Principal Culihan's last day at ASH will be Aug. 31. Kenneth Lein, Ed.D., who you may remember from his time at ASH last school year, will step in as interim principal, effective Sept. 1, while the district begins a search for your next permanent principal.

On Thursday, we celebrated our amazing fifth-grade students at Albany School of Humanities (ASH) as they prepare for a new adventure: middle school!

Principal Marie Culihan, along with dedicated teachers and staff who have supported our students, shared encouraging words for our 70 rising sixth-graders. Students also had the joy of listening to a heartfelt message from Albany High’s Class of 2026 valedictorian, Julia Rosi, who attended ASH during her elementary school years.

Reaching this milestone is just one of many important steps for the Class of 2033, and we wish this group of talented students the very best as they continue their studies.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our students thus far on their academic journey. We know the foundation built during their years at ASH will set them up for a successful future, and we can't wait to see our "red dragons" soar to new heights in the years to come!
