Senior Project

The Senior Project is a culminating service-learning project. Students prepare for this experience in a course called "Compass" during the junior year. The goal of the Senior Project is to combine academic learning and service skills to help the community. Students collaborate with mentors in a variety of Albuquerque organizations and agencies, including the National Hispanic Cultural Center, UNM Hospital ICU, Warehouse 508, St. Martin's Hospitality Center, Samaritan Care, Habitat for Humanity, Outcomes, Inc. and many APS classrooms across the city. Students contribute at least 100 hours to these projects and many identify career pathways.

Related legislation

The Albuquerque, New Mexico, Federal Land Conveyance Act of 2014 (H.R. 3998) is a bill that would direct the General Services Administration (GSA) to sell a federal property in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico, to the Amy Biehl High School Foundation for its fair market value. The high school has been using that federal location as a school building since 2006 and has plans to expand. The GSA decided that it would be better to sell the building than continue to rent it to the school.
