Schooling with Heart & Vision:
Closing the Gap at The Howard School

"As we settle into the rhythm of the year, I find myself thinking about the moments that make this community so special - the morning hellos at drop-off, teachers celebrating breakthroughs big and small, older students mentoring younger ones in the classroom and on the courts... Those moments don’t happen by accident; they’re the result of a shared commitment to our mission and to each other."

 

Support the Howard Fund!

The Howard Fund is our school’s most critical annual fundraising effort, helping to cover the 10% gap between what we receive in tuition and the actual cost of operating the school. Additionally, the Parents Association will no longer fundraise for PA events. Instead, volunteers are focusing on engaging our community and supporting our faculty and school. This change will streamline our fundraising efforts and reduce the number of “asks.”

Please consider making a pledge or gift to The Howard Fund. Our goal is $365,000 with 100% parent participation. Together, we can ensure that The Howard School remains a place where our students thrive and grow.

 
 

Volunteer at The Howard School!

The Parents Association is a wonderful way to stay connected with your student’s school while giving back to the faculty and staff who are dedicated to your child's education. From helping at annual events to supporting special initiatives, there are many opportunities for parents to get involved.
