Albany High School officially kicked off Homecoming 2017 Wednesday with a pep rally that leads up to a weekend of Falcon-focused events.

After the break for Rosh Hashana, Homecoming will continue Friday with the Hall of Fame Dinner and Inductions at 6:30 p.m. at the Italian-American Community Center.

On Saturday at 11 a.m., new Hall of Fame inductees will be enshrined on the Wall of Fame inside Albany High near the rubber gym. The Homecoming parade will follow at noon and the Homecoming game against Colonie starts at 1:30 p.m. on Albany High’s new turf field.

Also this weekend, the Albany Booster Club will hold its annual Falcon 5K Fun Run/Walk in Washington Park. The 5K begins at 9:30 a.m. and the Fun Run is at 10:30 a.m. Learn more here.
