The best parts about Howard High School is the friendships I got out of it. The worst part is the lack of education in certain classes.

My overall experience with Howard High school these past 3 years have been rocky but have been amazing. The good parts about Howard is the connection all the students have with each other and our academic scores and success..The cons about attending Howard is that some of the administrators will be totally disrespectful towards you without a care in the world.

I have had my ups and downs with this high school, but still strive to be better than what I am given. It has given me the determination to become an administrator to change and better schools in different counties or even states to insure the safety and learning for students.

I am a senior at Howard. I have gone to Howard all four years of my high school career. It is a great school and if I had to do it all over, I would choose Howard again.
