Welcome to the homepage for my social studies classes. Since 1998, students and parents have used these pages to keep in touch with me, check the due dates of their assignments, and used the links to supplement their classroom and textbook learning. I hope you find these pages useful as well. Feedback, of course, is always welcome. If you have specific questions regarding your (teenager’s) grades, please email me. I find email to be the most effective communication tool, and I am more accessible this way than by phone. However, I can also be reached through the school (410.313.7615).

Who is Mr. Jenkins
I like to get to know my students and their parents as the school year
progresses. Hammond High School is a school, but it is also a
community. Orientation, Back to School Night, and regular class time
often don’t offer us a chance to get to know each other. So here is a
little about myself, and when you have a chance, tell
me about yourself.!
