Juneteenth- APSF Office Closed
2026-06-19 | OR
Happy Juneteenth!
The APSF office will be closed on Friday, June 19th, in observance of Juneteenth.
Juneteenth (short for “June Nineteenth”) marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth honors the end to slavery in the United States and is considered the longest-running African American holiday. On June 17, 2021, it officially became a federal holiday.
You can learn more about Juneteenth on History.com

Our Diversity and Equity Statement
The Albany Public Schools Foundation, in alignment with the Greater Albany Public School District’s equity values, prioritizes the principles of fairness and justice in distributing resources, providing opportunities, and creating success for every student. The Foundation prioritizes equity and is committed to promoting an educational system in which race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability, or religion are not predictors of student achievement; where historically underserved groups increase in capacity and power; and where barriers to student success have been mitigated or eliminated. Educational equity promotes the real possibility of equality of educational results for every student and between diverse groups of students.
