Nestled in the Sunset Hills neighborhood of Mt, Lebanon, Julia Ward Howe Elementary School was built in 1928. Our school is named for the children and women's rights advocate who wrote the lyrics to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
Currently, we serve 378 students in grades K-5 with three sections per grade level. Our professional faculty and staff are committed to providing a nurturing learning environment that fosters academic excellence and overall student well-being.
A tradition of family oriented events is important to the Howe community. Last fall we hosted our 43rd annual Sunny Funny Fair! The Howe Read-a-thon, Family Reading Night, and "Howe's Got Talent" are just a few of the other special events that are coordinated and supported by our wonderful PTA and parent volunteers.

Dr Murray is the reason my score is so low. My son attended k-5 here and he was treated extremely unfairly by her (on multiple occasions). Some teachers are great others not so much. Common were first yr teachers or long terms subs. Middle of the year teachers would be swapped for another. Neighborh...

Our kids have generally enjoyed being at Howe, but I've been underwhelmed, given the general perception that this is a great school. The test scores are probably more a reflection of parental involvement and demographic advantages of the community (upper middle class, two parent households, with lot...

Lots of practicing Christians with poor understanding of morality. These children come from parents that are intellectually stunted.

My child is thriving at Howe. I cannot say it has been easy for him, but the mark they have expected him to step up to has been a good thing. He has made the effort, been rewarded, and continues to be motivated to strive for good things both academically and socially.
