Lion Pride Spotlight - Congratulations to Mikah Twyman (6th grade), Livi Atkins (5th grade), Teryn Hildebrant (6th grade), and Jayla Thomas (6th grade) on helping lead the N10SITY 5th/6th Grade Travel Basketball Team to the Branson Hardwood Tournament Championship!
Winning a tournament championship is about much more than bringing home a trophy. It reflects the countless hours of practice, commitment, and determination each player invested while learning to trust one another, compete as a team, and rise to challenges together.
Throughout the tournament, these young Lady Lions demonstrated the values that define successful teams—discipline, perseverance, sportsmanship, and believing in one another when the pressure was on. Those lessons extend far beyond the basketball court and will serve them well for years to come.
While the championship trophy celebrates an incredible accomplishment, the friendships built, confidence gained, memories made, and life lessons learned along the journey are what will last a lifetime.
Congratulations to Mikah, Livi, Teryn, Jayla, their teammates, coaches, and families on an outstanding tournament championship. We are proud of the way these young Howe Lady Lions continue to represent our school and community!
Celebrating Excellence Beyond the Classroom. ❤️🦁🤍

Tomorrow's home opener softball 3 way will now only be a Varsity and JV game vs. Cameron. Haworth will not be making the trip. #KappaHowe
You talked. We listened. The fall senior class fundraiser this year is a spirit shirt sale, and we have two great designs and shirt colors. Short sleeve shirts are available for ordering in youth and adult sizes. We will also sell long sleeve hooded tees (not the thick hoodies) in adult sizes. The red heather shirt says, "HOWE LIONS small town big pride" and the charcoal heather GAMEDAY shirt includes a portion of lyrics for our school song. Ask Howe seniors for order forms beginning August 17 or see any of our senior sponsors. All orders are prepaid. Show your pride. Save a poinsettia. Buy a shirt.
🍎 FREE Breakfast & Lunch for All Howe Students—Again This Year!
The breakfast and lunch menus for August 13–14, 2026, are now available in the school app and at https://www.howeschools.org/dining. Additional menus will be shared soon!
We’re excited to announce that Howe Public Schools will once again provide FREE breakfast and lunch to every student during the 2026–2027 school year through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
This is our second year participating in CEP, helping ensure that every student has access to healthy, nutritious meals each school day at no cost to families.
Before qualifying for CEP, Howe Public Schools proudly absorbed more than $100,000 annually to prevent meal costs from becoming a burden on our families. Thanks to CEP, we can continue providing this important benefit while directing local resources toward student learning and success.
Although meals are free for every student, we strongly encourage families to complete the Economically Disadvantaged Form when it is sent home with students. Information from these forms helps determine our school’s eligibility for important funding, programs, and resources that directly benefit students. Forms will be distributed very soon.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to continue investing in the well-being of our students. Here’s to another great year of learning, growing, and thriving together!

This is a reminder for any students that did pre-enrollment online due to being new to our school, no matter what if they are PK through 12th, and you were approved, you need to complete the enrollment process with the link that was sent in a follow up email. We have quite a few students that have the pre-enrollment complete, but have not completed the full enrollment. That has to be done before school starts.
