[edit] Concurrent Enrollment

Amy Biehl High School’s concurrent enrollment requires students in their senior year to attend two college classes (at UNM or CNM), as well as the school's core academic classes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays students are released to attend concurrent enrollment classes and do senior projects.

[edit] 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, employment skills and service to 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.
