Description
The Benjamin Banneker Honors Math & Science Society (BBHMSS) is a mentoring/ tutorial and enrichment program in partnership with the U.S. Naval Academy and the Montgomery County Maryland Public School system serving minority students grades 6-12.
Celebrating 20 years of community service, The BBHMSS is an organization whose mission is to improve minority students academic standing with respect to mathematics and science. An essential component of this process, that the BBHMSS addresses, is to reduce historical performance and achievement inhibitions within these two disciplines. While the emphasis is on mathematics and science, the ultimate goal is to promote the development of the total student who is academically motivated and responsibly focused. The promotion process requires supplemental activities in economic development, leadership skills and problem solving strategies.
