We Challenge YOU to Make a Difference!

We are thrilled to announce the Challenge Day is returning to Albany High School! Challenge Day is a transformational day of fun, leadership and power that can change the way people view each other forever. All members of the Sophomore class will have the opportunity to participate in the Challenge Day program this year.

The goal of Challenge Day is to help stop the teasing, violence and alienation that are so deeply a part of the school experience for millions of young people every day. Through a variety of games, trust-building activities and presentations, students will be given a unique opportunity to see themselves and the people around them with a new set of eyes.

Since 1987, the nationwide Challenge Day programs have helped to transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of teenagers just like you. Challenge Day has not only received numerous awards, but has also been featured in the best-selling book, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul and the Emmy Award-winning documentary, Teen Files: Surviving High School. To learn more, please visit the Challenge Day website at https://www.challengeday.org/.

Challenge Day is a full day experience and will take place on Monday, February 3rd, Tuesday, February 4th, and Wednesday, February 5th. Approximately 100 students will participate each day. Students will receive more information and details and an opt-out permission slip in their English class on Monday, January 27th.
