Ms. Phun truly is an outstanding educator who goes above and beyond in every way. From being the first to arrive and the last to leave, she consistently offers her support and encouragement to every student and staff member.
Every student who enters her classroom knows that Ms. Phun supports them. Dependable, hardworking, and kind, she ensures that all of her students meet grade-level standards, maintaining high expectations and helping everyone reach them.
Congratulations, Ms. Phun! Our school is incredibly lucky to have you!

We are so proud of our Albany students and staff — both current and alumni — who are performing in A Night of Shakespeare with Memphremagog Community Theatre! 🎭
It was a night full of laughter and pure hysterics! Our students did an amazing job bringing the show to life with their confidence, humor, energy, and creativity. It was wonderful to see them step onto the stage, take risks, work alongside members of our greater community, and absolutely shine.
A special shoutout to Ms. Lillis, whose Theatre Club has helped spark students’ interest and confidence in performing. She also helped launch Memphremagog Community Theatre, creating opportunities like this for our students and community. Thank you for helping our young performers find their way to the stage!
And thank you to the Albany staff who have come out to watch and cheer on our students—having their school community in the audience makes these moments even more special.
Their final performance is today at 2:00 PM at Haskell Opera House! Come out, support our Albany performers, and enjoy a very entertaining afternoon of Shakespeare!
Way to represent Albany—we are so proud of you!

What a wonderful way to wrap up another school year! Our students enjoyed a fun-filled Field Day packed with games, friendly competition, teamwork, and plenty of smiles.
This year was especially meaningful as it marked our first year as a middle school. Together, students and staff helped build new traditions, strengthen our school community, and make history at ACS. We are incredibly proud of all the growth, perseverance, and accomplishments our students have shown throughout the year.
Thank you to our staff, families, and volunteers who helped make this year so special. Have a safe, happy, and well-deserved summer, Wolves!
Over the years, this class has grown in many ways—academically, socially, and as members of our school community. They’ve faced challenges, learned how to navigate middle school, and also shared plenty of moments of humor, creativity, and connection that have made an impact on our school.
As they move forward, we hope they carry with them the lessons learned here, along with the confidence to take on new opportunities and the resilience to keep growing through challenges.
We are proud of how far they’ve come and wish them the very best in high school. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
