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:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
