The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) offices in Herndon, Virginia, has a partnership with Herndon Elementary School. Through this arrangement, BOEMRE employees are serving as tutors and mentors for Herndon Elementary School students, and several have served as guest instructors. BOEMRE employees have sponsored science education in conjunction with Earth Day and represent the bureau in the school's annual Career Fair, explaining to students how their specialties fit into the overall mission of the BOEMRE.

BOEMRE employees have credited hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of grocery store receipts, box tops points, and product labels to HES promotional accounts used to purchase computers and other school supplies.  BOEMRE also has donated a large quantity of surplus office supplies to the school in the last several years. In addition, BOEMRE has provided meeting space for HES teachers and staff.

The school has provided student choirs and ensembles for various BOEMRE functions. Plans are being developed to provide student artwork to decorate the common areas in BOEMRE offices.
