Local leaders went inside classrooms Thursday to get a look at what's happening in Dougherty County Schools.

This year's Leadership Albany class sat in on a forensic science class at Albany High School. They toured several schools to get a better idea of what's being done to educate students and prepare them for their future careers.

"People get a chance to see some of the things that are going on, to hear about our AP schools at Westover, Albany, Dougherty and Monroe, I mean it's great sometimes people don't get a chance to see and hear all that but we're going to flood this community with the positive side of education," said Dr. Joshua Murfree, DCSS Superintendent.

The Leadership Albany class met one on one with the Superintendent at the Central Office.

They also toured the International Studies Elementary School, Albany Middle, and the system's Early College.
