The homework center at North Heights operates 3:15 – 4:45 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with two certified teachers, Heather Hackett and Deborah Childs. The center serves 30 second through fifth grade students.
"Our homework center teachers and students are excited about rejoicing in the academic accomplishments achieved so far this year. We look forward to welcoming Romey to our school to help us all celebrate together," says Rita Carter, principal of North Heights.
