September Update September Update

The start of the 2024-2025 school year began with some heat! The high school was able to maintain comfortable conditions in almost every classroom and learning went on despite the warm and humid conditions. A big thank you goes out to all students and staff for making the most of our extended summer days.


As we approach the first full month of the year, we look forward to fall activities ramping up into full gear. The Activities Department is looking forward to launching a new and updated website for access to registration, game tickets and up-to-the-minute schedules. As soon as the website launches, look for links through text, email and social media.


We invite you to follow Albert Lea High School on Facebook. We have become more active on this platform as the year has started. The new Tigers Unite app is also a great way to keep up to date. Check out the bottom of this newsletter for links including the newly updated Albert Lea Area School District Facebook page.


As always, I look forward to meeting and chatting with as many students and parents as possible as we move through this year. Not that anyone is counting, but as of September 1, we are a mere 263 days from the 2025 Commencement Ceremony!


Chris Dibble, ALHS Principal

Albert Lea Tigers Unite App Albert Lea Tigers Unite App

The new Tigers Unite App will be a convenient method for receiving announcements and contacting staff once it up fully implemented. To get things started we ask that students and families download the app by searching "Albert Lea Tigers Unite" in either the Apple App Store of Google Store. It is a free app that will connect you to the district and all buildings.


Staff members are working out some of the kinks that always come along with new product rollouts. Our goal is to have full communication up and running by Friday, September 6. We look forward to finding the most effective means of communication to work with our families.
