Amy Biehl High School transforms young people from all walks of life into civic-minded, college-bound, and career-ready scholars. Despite facing many barriers to college - 52% economically disadvantaged, 33% first generation college-bound, and 24% special needs - Amy Biehl High School (ABHS) students are succeeding. 98% of ABHS graduates enroll directly into college, 86% persist in or graduate from college, and over half continue to volunteer in their local community. This success is accomplished through a braided system of supports and a focus on civic engagement and college preparedness. All students participate in All School Service Days where the entire school community spends one afternoon each month volunteering with local non-profits. These years of civic engagement culminate in a 100-hour service learning project in the senior year. Additionally, all ABHS graduates will take and pass a minimum of two dual-enrollment college courses, helping to ease the tranisition from high school to college.
Amy Biehl High School was founded in the spirit of Amy Biehl, a young scholar dedicated to social justice and service. Through a mandatory focus on service, we graduate diverse learners and leaders who demonstrate intellectual, social, and ethical habits to improve their communities.
The Amy Biehl High School Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. It works to meet the financial requirements of Amy Biehl High School in offering an excellent public school education, and it provides financial and community support to ensure the school is well-positioned to graduate civic minded, college-bound, and career-ready students.
