Learning Beyond the Classroom

Several High School students recently participated in a Minimester trip to Sapelo Island for a powerful social justice field experience, while our 8th grade students enjoyed an educational outing to Florence Marina State Park. These trips provided meaningful opportunities for learning beyond the classroom.

We also appreciate families who submitted their online re-enrollment forms. Thank you for being a valued part of The Howard School community!

Rachel’s Challenge This Week (Grades 7–12 + Parent Event)

Last Friday you should have received an email about special programming coming to campus this week: Rachel’s Challenge. On Thursday, February 26, students in grades 7–12 will participate in age-appropriate lessons and activities focused on building connection, hope, and resilience—and helping reduce bullying, self-harm, and youth violence.

K-12 Parents/Guardians: You’re Invited
Rachel’s Challenge will also host a Parent Education event on February 26 at 7:00 p.m. on campus. We strongly encourage all parents to attend this important program so you can better understand what students are learning and how to continue the conversation at home. Please register to attend so we can plan for seating and parking.
