Congratulations to the Class of 2027, which celebrated Sophomore Day on Monday.
A special ceremony was held which included the traditional distribution of pendants (and chocolates), an address from Class President Julia Viglucci, remarks from Principal Taranto, and a blessing from Ms. Witherspoon. The ceremony was followed by a retreat in the Campus Arts Center.

This Week in Athletics
Congratulations to our five varsity basketball seniors who were honored Tuesday on Senior Night.
JV got things started with a big win over Cohoes with nearly the entire team landing on the score sheet, and the seniors followed things up by leading their squad to victory as well.
Gianna Savoca led the way with 12 points. Emily Bellinger added 11, and Morgan Brewer chipped in 10. All five seniors got on the board as AHN improved to 14-3. The teams host Albany Academy on Friday, when Coach Gigliello will be honored pre-game for reaching 300 career wins in last week's victory at Voorheesville.

Congratulations also go out to the indoor track team for placing second in the Colonial Council Championships!
