Albany High seniors celebrate college picks

Seniors choose colleges

More than 100 Albany High School seniors joined their peers across the country Tuesday morning for a group photo to showcase where their academic journeys will continue in the fall.  

May 1 is National Decision Day, which encourages high school seniors to finalize the college entry process with a ceremonial announcement of the school they plan to attend.  

Students assembled for the group picture decked out in their college apparel, excited to join schools across the region, state and country.
