Amy Biehl High School transforms young people from all walks of life into civic-minded college students while they are still in high school. Located in the heart of downtown Albuquerque in a one hundred year old historic building, ABHS is redefining the value of a high school diploma by providing a challenging curriculum and cultivating close relationships with students and families. In addition, close coordination with UNN, CNM and a host of community partners enables habits needed to successfully complete two relevant college classes and service initiatives.
