About Howard County Public School System
The Black Student Achievement Program (BSAP) of The Howard County Public School System was established in 1986. Over the years, BSAP has been a viable resource to the school system, to black students, to their parents, and to the community. Through a coordinated system of services, BSAP guides black students to develop education, career and personal/social – more... competencies.
The ultimate outcome is for black students to be prepared to excel as leaders ready to conquer the challenges of the 21st century.
BSAP assists the HCPSS with implementing the Comprehensive Plan and achieving the goal of closing the achievement gap evident in state and data patterns.
Academic Transition Assistants and Academic Mentors are academic case managers who provide skilled support and information to students on their formal and informal caseloads.
