Today our HPS family enjoyed a wonderful staff luncheon planned and hosted by our District Office Assistant, Jorden Thompson, with the support of Superintendent Scott Parks and our administrative team. We are incredibly grateful for the hard work, time, and care Jorden put into making today happen.
A huge shoutout to Administrative Assistant and Athletic Director, Greg Nichols, who worked side by side with Jorden, rolling up his sleeves to ensure the luncheon was a success. We also want to thank Greg's wife, Gina for her help, along with everyone who stepped in to assist.
Our delicious meal was catered by Eli French and topped off with store bought desserts enjoyed by all. A special thank you to our HHS Cheer Team for delivering meals to staff who could not leave their assigned areas. Their help ensured everyone felt included in today’s celebration.
To top it all off, each staff member received a fantastic Howe Lions t shirt, adding even more Lion Pride to our halls.
We are also very grateful to our Admin Team and School Board Members for supporting our students and staff in so many visible and behind the scenes ways throughout the year. HPS is blessed because of you.
We are incredibly thankful for our HPS team and for the pride, unity, and spirit we share at Howe Public Schools. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Happy Retirement to the one and only Marilyn Ray!
Today, Howe Public Schools is officially sending Marilyn into retirement… even though we’re still not convinced she’ll stay away from the buildings.
After 20+ years of service, school spirit, and “just one more little favor,” Marilyn has finally earned the right to sleep in, shop all day, and thrifting-hunt without having 47 people asking her for something.
Marilyn is a professional encourager, the unofficial snack supplier, and the world-class cheerleader who somehow managed to be at every sporting event before the rest of us even found parking.
She also leaves behind a very real budget crisis: the gift-giving, thrifting, and surprise-present department will never be the same. Who will bring us treasures now?!
Marilyn, thank you for showing up with heart, humor, and more Howe Pride than seems humanly possible. You’ve made memories, friendships, and a legacy that will stick around far longer than the cleaning supplies you’ve hidden from us (we know you’re not sharing the good ones!). 😉
We love you, we’ll miss you, and yes… we fully expect you back in the stands next season yelling louder than the student section.
Enjoy retirement, Marilyn! You earned it.
