NO SCHOOL: Thanksgiving Recess
The Albany County League of Women Voters has selected Albany High School sophomore Faith O’Toole to represent the county at a statewide "Students Inside Albany" conference to be held at the Capitol in May.
An Albany High honor student by day, O’Toole also is studying American Sign Language at Hudson Valley Community College. She is the only student from Albany County selected to participate in the League of Women Voters' conference.
O’Toole became intrigued by state and national politics last fall after spending a week in Washington, D.C. at a national “No Place for Hate” conference sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League.
The Students Inside Albany conference is designed to increase students’ awareness of their responsibility in representative government, and to educate them about the process by which citizens can participate in the policy-making arena in our state government.
Congratulations to O’Toole on earning this wonderful opportunity to expand her knowledge of and interest in our civic process!
The mission of the City School District of Albany is to work in partnership with our diverse community to engage every learner in a robust educational program designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary for success. The district serves nearly 9,700 students in 18 elementary, middle and high schools. In addition to neighborhood schools, the district includes several magnet schools and programs, as well as other innovative academic opportunities for students, including four themed academies at Albany High School.
