We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Howard was very informative and prospering. They have given me all the tools, knowledge, and practice to have me further myself in life. I am so appreciative of them and hope they continue with their legacy. It was and will always feel like home.

Great opportunities for students to earn a certificate and high school diploma. The staff help with ensuring every student succeed. It gives african american students to learn from there own culutre and there is also diversity. The academic clubs that are offered are also ways the school displacys everyone artistic abilities not only thru reading writting.
