The Street Academy
Check out this 1977 documentary Chuck reconstructed about the former Street Academy, an alternative high school in Albany. The former slide-and-cassette show (beep!) has quite the funky musical intro:
Chuck's an alumnus of the school. He's been collecting documents and memorabilia related to its history. It opened in 1970 and was eventually renamed Harriet Gibbons High School. The Albany school board recently voted to close the program.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

This is a really interesting project. Great job Chuck. I hope you'll donate a copy of this reconstructed film to the Albany history room at the public library.

Funkiest theme song for an educational slide show ever.
