We are committed to partnering with you to ensure our military-connected students maximize their unique potential and in finding innovative ways to support our military families. One support we are proud to offer is a student support program at our elementary schools, where students are grouped in long-term communities for the duration of their elementary school experience. At the middle and high schools, our peer helpers are eager to help families as they transition into a new school environment. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Dr. John Lowry, Federal Programs Coordinator, at (205) 870-4203 or jlowry@homewood.k12.al.us
