Staff, students, and families encouraging the joy of learning, the value of cooperative accomplishment, and the optimism of future success. Our goal: every student achieving high academic standards while becoming lifelong learners able to contribute to our local and global communities.

Howard Elementary School is a wonderful neighborhood school that welcomes and celebrates all students. We offer a rigorous curriculum that challenges students and prepares them with 21st century skills. With the caring guidance of dedicated staff, students make academic gains while developing persistence and personal responsibility, qualities that are the cornerstone of lifelong learning. We are committed to fostering a curiosity for learning and the skills necessary to prepare academically and socially for middle school. Rigorous academic explorations coupled with the immersion of technology into everyday teaching and learning helps students grow into future thinkers and problem solvers.
