Teacher judgment is the product.
Software supports it. Software does not replace it.
About
Boomerang Projects came directly out of an AP Seminar classroom. It is designed by someone who teaches the course, knows the rubric, and lives with the realities the workspace is built to support.
The founder
Founder & CEO, Boomerang Projects™
Drew Snow is the founder & CEO of Boomerang and a high school English teacher with over twenty years in the classroom. He has taught AP Seminar since the inception of the program. During his teaching career he has done curriculum design for national projects and has served as a consultant and reviewer for major assessment programs. Boomerang Projects grew out of his classroom — a tool built by a teacher who runs the workflow it manages.
The company
Boomerang Projects is part of the Boomerang family of classroom tools. The first product, Boomerang Pass, is a privacy-first digital hall pass for high schools — built around trust, dignity, and quiet accountability. Boomerang Projects extends the same philosophy into a different part of the school day: the student-led research course where freedom is the point and structure is what protects it.
Both products share the same conviction. The tools we put in classrooms should reflect the best of teaching — trust, judgment, and care — and they should make the routines of school quieter, fairer, and more respectful of student time.
Our principles
Software supports it. Software does not replace it.
It is not training data for us or anyone else.
Not erase it. The workflow belongs to the student first.
Signals are information for a teacher, not automatic flags.
Minimal data, FERPA-aware, no third-party trackers in student flows.
No student-facing essay generation. Ever.
