The best part about attending Howe High School was its small size, which made it easier to build strong, one-on-one relationships with teachers. However, the downside was that it didn't offer as many opportunities as a larger school might. I'd like to see the school update its dress code policy and become more adaptable to modern times, rather than holding on to outdated practices.

I have gone to Howe Schools since I was in kindergarten. This community has supported me and my decisions throughout the years. It's a family community for sure and I wouldn't want to have gone anywhere else. I am going off to college next year and having 5 siblings it's not cheap. So having a little extra money to help would be greatly appreciated!!!
