High school, here we come!

Teacher hugs a student

They started the day as middle schoolers and finished as high school students.

Edmund J. O’Neal School of Excellence recognized eighth graders Thursday at a moving up ceremony that officially marked the transition between middle school and high school. Family, friends and O’Neal staff joined the eighth graders to celebrate the milestone.

Take a look at Facebook photos from the celebration. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the pictures linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, “To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)

Best wishes in high school!
