Sean Gaston has had a long career as a history teacher, dean of students and assistant principal. This year he is taking on a new leadership role as the principal at Albert Lea High School. Gaston is excited to continue to lead while following his five core values and create a more positive culture at Albert Lea High School. These values were molded by his mentors, family and experiences. He hopes that they will have a positive impact on the school just as much as they have had an impact on them. He has already started to make a change in the way our school approaches discipline and suspensions and hopes to be more present in classrooms.

There were a total of 15 performances throughout the two nights, including a pre-show performance by the Albert Lea High School jazz band. Over 50 students participated in Tiger’s Roar and showcased their skills with an exciting and entertaining night full of talent and music. “Tigers Roar is such a great way to display students’ talent, which is another reason why I wanted to take part. I wanted to be able to give back to the community and also show off my talent.” said senior New New.
