Albert Lea Area Schools will be closed Tuesday, January 21st. All buildings will be closed. This is an E-learning day. Watch for messages to be sent by your school principal for e-Learning day instructions. After school activities will proceed as scheduled unless notified by a coach/advisor.
The Wall of Inspiration has been a part of Albert Lea High School since 2004, created by the Kuphal family to honor members of the school community who have inspired others to achieve more than they believed possible. The wall was established in memory of Josh Kuphal, an Albert Lea High School graduate who inspired many of his peers. Although Josh has passed away, his legacy endures through this meaningful tribute.
The motto of the wall is, 'Be the change you want to see.'
This motto serves as a guiding principle for living a life marked by kindness, generosity of time and energy, and selflessness — putting others before oneself.
Please consider nominating someone that has made a difference in our community!
