2015 Homecoming Images

Friday night – September 25th – was the night of the big Homecoming game where our Albion Purple Eagles were pitted against the East Aurora / Holland Blue Devils! It was the climax of a week full of fun and memorable events for the students of Albion High School and the community! Here are some of the photos taken at the game to show how much Purple Eagle Pride was shining out for all to see!

The sky turned a gorgeous PURPLE and then GOLD in honor of our Eagle Pride:

Here, Jonathan Doherty (class of 2003) and Ed Fancher (class of 1983) arrange bells, pom poms, megaphones, and horns to sell at our popcorn booth. The crowd loved the goodies – we sold out of the horns by half time and lots of popcorn left the booth! Proceeds from the booth sales goes to our general scholarship fund to help our students with college expenses!
