DCHS celebrated 236 high school graduates Saturday morning – 48 of them with honors.

Dougherty Comprehensive High School Principal Jerry Sanders said miracles happen on the East Side of Albany. He said 1800 Pierce Avenue is not just an address, and the colors maroon and white aren’t just regular colors.

“That place and those colors mean way more than anything you could imagine,” Sanders said. “And if you don’t believe me, take a look at this graduating class. This class is full of miracles.”
