Region 1-AAA Basketball Champions--1971-72 Pep Rally-1978-79 Elaine Hardy. First Miss Thronateeska. 1975 m hen the Albany High School building on North Jefferson became inadequate for its large number of students, plans were made for a new building to be erected at 801 Residence Avenue. When this building was completed in 1954, the seventh and eighth grades were moved from the original junior high building on Society Street to the old high school building on North Jefferson Street, which became Albany Junior High. The original junior high building on Society Avenue became McIntosh Elementary School, as the old McIntosh Elementary School building had been torn down. This building which had been torn down was the original Albany High School built in 1908. After four years, all of the seventh grades were moved back to what had been the first junior high building, which now became McIntosh Junior High. The first principal of this school was Lonnie Holloway. Previous to the 1960’s, the schools in Albany were segregated. Albany High School was integrated during the 1964-1965 school year. Six black girls joined the senior class in the fall of 1964. History 25
