context_page_description: Albany High School was a four-year secondary school located in Albany, Georgia, United States. It is a part of the Dougherty County School System. The school educates students in grades 9-12.
  Albany High School was established in 1886 after H.M. McIntosh, editor of the Albany News and Advertiser, initiated a campaign to raise the funds necessary to erect the school. It was the first high school in the county.
  Two years after the school opened, it was destroyed by a fire of unknown origin. Classes were temporarily held in the town courthouse while the academy was rebuilt.
  After student enrollment rapidly increased during the first two decades, overcrowding led to expansion until a building was built in 1908. Located at the intersection of Monroe Street and Society Avenue, it contained ten classrooms.
  In 1925, the high school moved to 1000 North Jefferson Street. In the fall of 1954 the school shifted to its current building on Residence Avenue. In the fall of 1999, a Magnet Honors Program was added to the curriculum.
  On June 6, 2017, the Dougherty County School System voted to close the school.
