Social Studies Teacher, Jim Haney, Named the Impact Teacher Before His Retirement

The Senior Class of 2026 selected Calleigh Noble as the Impact Student of Albert Lea High School. There were 50 responses from the senior class. Noble moved to Albert Lea three years ago. She is originally from Blaine, Minnesota. One thing that has made Noble the person she is today is moving the summer of her sophomore year. “I would say the move definitely has shaped me,” said Noble “The things that I've accomplished and have the opportunity to do… things I never would have imagined myself doing. Just having these opportunities made me. I'm so lucky for all of it.” Photo Submitted
