This morning, we kicked off the 2024-2025 school year with our All-District 241 Welcome Back event at the ALHS Auditorium! It was a fantastic gathering with all staff in attendance, coming together to celebrate the start of a new academic year. We're excited for the year ahead and looking forward to all the great things we'll achieve together!

Back to School Festival is POSTPONED. Stay tuned!

Exciting News! Our school district is making communication easier and more connected than ever. We’re moving to a new Facebook page to sync with our brand-new Albert Lea Tigers Unite app!
