I really love going to Howard High School. It has is pros and cons. The pros are you get more one on one time with the teachers and a con would be it is a small town and me personally I don't like it very much but some people do. I love that Howard is very inviting and has lots of encouragement towards the students to succeed in sports and in academics and sports
