Cutting-edge Albany High science programs in the news
 ALBANY, N.Y. (Feb.
16, 2012)
-- Two cutting-edge
Albany High School science programs have been in the news recently,
providing information about the excellent opportunities available to
all students.
On Feb. 15, CBS6 featured Albany High’s new
biotechnology lab, made possible this year through a partnership
with Hudson Valley Community College.
Check out that story online. You also can
read more about "CSI: Albany High" in the winter edition of
Capital Education, the City School District of Albany's
quarterly newsletter.
Earlier this month, WTEN/TV-10 and YNN/9 both
featured Albany High’s “NanoHigh” partnership with the University at
Albany’s College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. That program,
considered the first of its kind at an American public high school
when it debuted at Albany High in 2007, introduces students to the
technology that is redefining the Capital Region economy.
