Selfless Seniors

Since 2008, photographer Frank Frost has partnered with the Foundation to recognize seniors in high school who have selflessly given back to their communities, usually without recognition or praise. These young adults have already made a difference in their schools and neighborhoods and inspire their peers and all of us to do the same.

In its 16th year, Selfless Seniors aims to shine the spotlight on students who work behind the scenes to make our community a better place to live. Selfless Seniors are dedicated to helping others without expecting praise or recognition. One student from each APS comprehensive high school and one magnet school will be chosen from nominations submitted by school staff, non-profit organizations, and the community.

Thanks to the generosity of photographer Frank Frost, each Selfless Senior receives a free senior portrait. Their portraits will be displayed on the APS website, electronic billboards, and display boards in each APS high school, Albuquerque International Sunport, and other local businesses. An APS Education Foundation Selfless Senior promotes positive change in their lives and the lives of others, volunteers in the community, and leaves a lasting impression on those he or she meets.
