The 2024-2025 Tiger Yearbook program has been awarded gold status by Jostens, our yearbook publishing company. The National Yearbook Program of Excellence awards gold to yearbook programs who have met all their deadlines, featured over half of the student body three times or more, and boosted yearbook sales from previous years. This is an incredible achievement by our students and a testament to all their hard work.

Mrs. Nelson's advisory class at Southwest Middle School (pictured here) led the charge on an eyeglass donation earlier this year. With the help of everyone at Albert Lea Area Schools they were able to donate 93 pairs of glasses to the local lions club who will use them for people in need. Thank you to everyone who help support this cause.
