Congratulations to Albany High culinary teacher Lisa Valentine for being honored by WNYT/Ch. 13 as a Top Teacher of 2026!
Be sure to check out her interview, which aired on March 4.
Our Falcons who take culinary classes with Valentine know how deeply she cares for her students.
"It feels like a family when I come in here," senior Asia Green shared about Valentine. "She's like a second mother to me. She motivates me and makes sure we are all on track when it comes to our future."
We are so thankful for Valentine's dedication, enthusiasm and creativity as an educator.
Our students are not only learning marketable skills, they are also experiencing the joy of cooking each time they step into our culinary classroom.
