Howland High School was a major part of my life. When I was young, I didn’t have any parents due to the heroin epidemic and lived at my grandparents house with my siblings and uncle.
During my time there I almost failed kindergarten; However, my teacher and the program at Howland saw that I was not able to keep up and was not receiving the help I needed at home. Once they stepped in and provided me with extra help, I was able to make it through and proceed with my peers to 1st grade.
A few years later I had moved on to a new chapter of my life. My aunt and uncle had invited me to live with them. By the time I was 12 years old, they had adopted me. This was a huge step in my journey and during the process I had my last name changed.
Howland played a huge part in the changes and helped with the adjustments to make sure I stayed on track, got the things I needed done, and kept me going even when I had struggles.
Howland Schools made sure that I could succeed even with adversity.

My experience at Howland High School has been full of wonderful moments that have impacted my education. I am surrounded by great staff and students who have encouraged me to keep pursing my academic dreams. However, in High School it is inevitable to experience the lows. One experience that hasn't been fond, is not being able to see my twin sister during classes. My twin sister and I share an indescribable bond, which impacts me socially. Though, with the support of both teachers and students, I have been able to conquer my fears and embrace new challenges with beaming confidence. I would absolutely love to see the involvement of spirit and tiger pride within our school, making it more enjoyable and alive!
My time at Howland High School has been indescribable. On a daily basis, I am surrounded by the most helpful teachers and peers. Even though high school can be psychically and mentally challenging, I have had decent experiences thus far. Personally, the worst experience I have had is the amount of school work required by teachers. However, this all equals out because I am learning to become more organized with my school work. The best experience at school is when I am able to see and interact with my friends at lunch time. Lastly, I would love to see more student involvement when it comes to spirit events.
Howland High is a school with devoted
faculty and caring teachers. Most want students to achieve their full potential while supporting them in the classroom. While the school itself is extremely outdated, adjustments such as central A/C have been added to guarantee a better class experience.

My experience at Howland High School was an overall average experience. All of my teachers challenged me academically, and it felt that I genuinely had to apply myself to do well on assignments. However, the school's culture is not the most enjoyable.
Howland High School is a great school district that has excellent teachers, and a fairly good learning environment. The students are all fairly kind and I have always felt comfortable at my school. I believe there are various opportunities that are provided to us as students regarding classes, clubs, and extracurricular activities.
I really enjoyed my time at Howland High School. The teachers were very professional and the classes helped to adequately prepare me for college, including a few college credit plus courses I took.
I have had mostly great experiences. Since the school lacks diversity, it is prone to ignorance. I have had to get extra help since my junior year to current in math because the teachers are not teaching in a way students understand
The staff is friendly and welcoming to transfer students. You can openly ask any questions and they will gladly assist you.
Howland High School, Is a very good high school the staff is very welcoming and nice. The teachers are very nice and actually teach the food there is not so hot. Howland also is a mainly white high school so diversity is not high within the school district. But it has a diverse environment when it comes to extra circular activities Howland has a wide variety of extra curler activists from speech and debate to hiking clubs there are so many opputtunitsa.
- As someone with autism and other possible learning disabilities, the school refused to test me for a IEP. They didn't do it because they believed there was nothing wrong with me despite my average grade being a F
- The staff was extremely rude to students for no reasons. especially those struggling with mental illness. they would hand out detentions like candy on Halloween
-The staff did nothing about bullying
-The food is terrible. Even though I already have sensory sensitivity, they didn't have very many options and it usually tasted horrible. Quite a bit of students ended up with food poisoning
-Despite having a GSA club, the school wasn't the best with accepting those of the LGBT community. I had a teacher threaten me and tell me that I was going to burn in hell
-The school only focuses on sports. The one thing that gets them money.
-The school rarely contacted parents. They put the responsibility on students to relay information. It doesn't seem like the smartest move

My experience at Howland High school was your average high school experience . Since I was involved and connected to the school and administration, it made everyday easier. The things I would like to change about Howland to be more involved with the underclassmen. We need to engage with all ages, not just your class.
I feel like Howland is an average high school. We aren't allowed to change classes even if our schedule had an error that wasn't our fault. School lunch is horrendous. I am a senior and I have not bought lunch one time. If I forget to pack my lunch I go hungry instead of wasting my money. Other than that, the people are nice and I'm good at following orders, which gets me superior grades. Somehow most of my friends struggle to get good grades when it is really easy.
Teachers are mostly amazing and very helpful. The academics here are better than all other schools that are nearby. The actual school itself is not the nicest being made in like the 1940s but everything else is well above average. Also, athletics are very competitive to the area if not the best in the area. It is a very diverse school, which helped me make a lot of friends. I feel as if going to Howland High School prepared me for college. I always felt safe going to school here with the safe but still lenient rules.
Howland is a great school for anyone. There’s so many great teachers that are all here to help you with anything you need.
My time at Howland High School has help me grow as a person. It has allowed to me to make so many friends. It has also allowed me to express myself as a person and the school accepted it.
My school can be considered abnormally larger than most, so this really brings in a diverse amount of interests and hobbies of many different students, and this results in a variety of clubs to participate in. Although, it is hard to be involved with all of them. The teachers do a very good job of managing the students work in correspondence to their outside lives. They provided many resources, including access to computer labs and study halls to work on papers and assignments while still in school rather than spending time taking all of your work home. The community was always very supportive and definitely showed pride in being a “Howland” resident. The administration cared for the faculty as much as they did the students. It was always a welcoming place to be at. I would highly recommend any attendance of a student at this school, you will overly satisfied!
