History
In 1950, one teacher following a dream, helped academically frustrated students experience success through a school she poured her life savings into{. From that moment, The Howard School was established. The School relocated to a 16-acre (65,000 m2) campus with one classroom building, a gymnasium and a multi-purpose facility. The initial student population grew to almost three hundred students.
In 2004 with the support of the Board of Directors, and a strong parent base, the school embarked on a major capital campaign and building project. The school raised $18,150,000 and a major overhaul of the campus was completed along with one classroom building, a gymnasium and a multi-purpose facility. These buildings provided classroom space, gym and photography labs, a lunch room and a small meeting center. In January 2007 the ribbon cutting ceremony occurred and students moved in. Planning began almost immediately for future growth, specifically for the middle school and the enlargement of the lower school and elementary school.

“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
