Albion was known for its strong boys' basketball and track and field programs. The school board announced on June 11, 2013, that all Albion High School students would attend Marshall High School starting in the fall of 2013. The decision to close Albion Senior High School was made because of a $1.1 million deficit.The school was later adopted by Marshall Public schools and repurposed into "Marshall Alternative Highschool" meant for students with behavioral or educational challenges. As of 2024 Albion High still stands under the name of "Marshall opportunity highschool" The majority of the schools interior remains unused due to lack of funding from the district that claimed it.[1]
