Albany's catchment area has been specified by the Department of Education and Training to include all of the City of Albany other than the western areas serviced by Mount Lockyer and Yakamia primary schools, which are served by North Albany Senior High School.
The school first opened in 1918, and relocated in 1924 to the northern side of Mount Clarence.
The school had a major upgrade in 1997 in several areas including the science laboratories, Design and Technology area and the home economics area.
Another upgrade occurred in 2002 when the oval, gymnasium and performing arts centre were completed. [1]
The school won the State Country Week Champion School for five consecutive years from 2000 to 2004. The school regained the champion school shield in 2010 but not before Bunbury Senior High School was awarded the champion school at the closing ceremony following a mix-up in the tallying of results.[2] In 2011 the school again won the champion school shield.
Students can be in all or none of these programs when attending ASHS.
