The school year is broken into four quarters. The school day is organized into four blocks of 85 minutes each, with eight minutes passing time between classes. Students are assigned to a homeroom, but the first stop of the day as traditional holds. A 15-minute homeroom period is held between blocks 3 and 4 where club meetings, announcements and other short activities are planned for students. You won't hear Albany high school students talk about study halls.
Every student is scheduled into four courses each quarter of the year.
A total of 172 courses are offered. The comprehensive curriculum at Albany Senior High School offers students the opportunity to follow one of six occupational pathways. Students are also guided by three post-high school educational planning pathways as they progress through their high school years. Albany HS belongs to the Central Minnesota Educational TV Consortium and offers interactive TV courses. We expect all of our students and our teachers to make the maximum personal effort to help each other continue in their personal growth and development.
