Principal Maxine Fantroy-Ford.

The cake reads, "Good Luck Albany
Falcons." |
She issued an inspirational message, encouraging the
young athletes to do their best on the field and make the most of their
athletic experiences.
"This is a great start for the fall sports season at Albany High
School," said Ms. Ryan, who was formerly the athletic director for the
Elmira City School District. "The support of boosters, parents and
school administrators was all observable. I want our student-athletes to
know the bar and expectations for them are going to be set very high
because when they graduate from here they will be prepared to be the
leaders of their generation and that means excelling on the playing
fields and in their classrooms!"
Superintendent Eva Joseph encouraged the student-athletes to make the
school community proud, adding that she had no doubt that they would.
