Partnership
The District of Columbia Public Schools encourages partnerships between schools and the community. Such arrangements provide students with learning opportunities outside the classroom, a broader vision of the world, and an awareness of an interaction with positive role models.
The partnership between Howard University and the Benjamin Banneker Academic High School offers students numerous benefits that include:
- Mentoring and internship programs through the Department of Surgery, Howard University Hospital;
- Work experience in the university environment through the Community Laboratory Volunteer Program;
- Computer Technical assistance provided by the Department of Engineering and Computer Sciences;
- Summer enrichment experiences through the partnership with Bio-Medical Institute and the College of Arts and Sciences;
- Participation in Convocation, seminars, films, and other special events.
- Opportunities for student teacher experiences at Banneker for Howard University students.
- Continuous contact with a university that has produced some of the most outstanding citizens of this community, the country, and the world.
