High School Homework Helpers
High School Homework Helpers is a program that involves high school students helping middle school students with their homework. The high school students log their hours and get community service credit for college applications and resumes or Adopt-A-Class hours.
There is a new convenient, easy to use website this year.

The parents/guardians of the middle schoolers call or email the high school students to set up the location and time. At the end of the year, the hours are approved as community service hours through the BHS guidance department.
Parents have hired the students over the summer and many parents show their appreciation to the high schoolers at the end of the year with gifts, but generally this program is strictly volunteer and done for the purpose of getting community service hours. More importantly, it is a program that helps struggling middle school students get their homework done so that they are not spending hours on it after a long school day. Many of the high school students are interested in becoming teachers.
Notebooks, agendas, binders and all relevant information should be easily available for the high school students. I am also here all year to support you. My email is mmurphy@bpsk12.org. Please feel free to email with any questions or concerns. It is up to you to make the connection and work out the details after you get the names.
