4 principals in 50 years Over fifty years many administrators, teachers , and staff came through AHS . It was a different story when it came to the principals at AHS. Since the school's opening in 1953. AHS only has had four men serve as Principals. These men were Mr. Moore who opened the school in 1953 and left the following year, Mr. Hurt, who started in 1954 and stayed unti11985. Mr. Raines , took over the job in 1986 and remained here until1995 when he chose Mr. Lawill to replace him , and is our current principal. Mr. Raines , the most well known pricncipal in AHS history, only planned to stay at AHS for five years , but in the
end he up staying for eleven. So, why was it that he stayed so much longer than he had orginally planned on? "I always enjoyed the student body," explained Mr. Raines . "It was a great mixture of people and just a great group of students. I always tried to go to al l the sporting events to interact with the students ." Raines went on to explain that during his years at AHS , he sent about 80% of the graduating seniors to college. He tried to stay involved and interact with the students while he was principal.
Ms. Sue Hughes began working at Albemarle in 1976 as an English teacher, yet currently she is the AHS Attendance Officer.
