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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
