The hallmark of the Albany Independent School District is building a Community of Balanced Learners.  Character is the foundation of this goal and is accomplished by fostering the virtues of respect, responsibilities, fairness, citizenship, caring, and trustworthiness in our children, staff and our Albany Community.  Albany ISD strives to be competitive in both Academics and Extra Curricular Activities.  We feel this is another essential part in building a Community of Balanced Learners so that our graduates can compete in a global job market. With campus mottos such as:

 Where Students SOAR
and Lions ROAR -
Everybody is Somebody at AJSH

And

                               Embrace the Present…                 

Seize the Day – Nancy Smith Elementary School

It is inevitable that we are successful in all that we do.  We are proud of whom we are and the community we represent!
