*Title 1 Distinguished School
Albany Middle School's motto, "BEGIN. BELIEVE. BECOME" consists of three words, although simple in meaning, when combined, denote the formula to success. Our job as educators is to facilitate this process by helping students BEGIN the arduous process of becoming a life-long learner. During this process, we encourage students to BELIEVE in themselves and trust in their abilities. Through maturation and armed with all the skills and knowledge of a well -rounded education, our students can become whatever they choose!
