Howard Bishop Middle School is a Community Partnership School

What does that mean? It means that Bishop is not only a school that maintains the rigors required of all Alachua County Public Schools, but it also provides much-needed additional services and support for the neighborhood students and families it serves. 

Here are just a few of the important services our Community Partnership School provides:

• Onsite counseling for students and family members
• A free after-school program with homework help and activities
• An accelerated academic program for students in need of credits 
• Vouchers and referrals for vision and dental care
• Parent programs and trainings 
• Access to family resource services
• Parent training in technology through E.P.I.T.
• Snacks, clothing and school supplies, as needed

A Community Partnership School does not run itself, and our Community Partners are vital to our success. Partners of the HBMS Community School include, but are not limited to:

• The Florida Department of Health in Alachua County
• Children’s Home Society of Florida
• Santa Fe College
• School Board of Alachua County (SBAC)
• University of Florida
