Howe Public Schools Awarded Nearly $20,000 Oklahoma CareerTech Ag Education Lottery Grant!
We're excited to announce that Howe Public Schools has been awarded a nearly $20,000 Oklahoma CareerTech Agricultural Education Lottery Grant! Thanks to this competitive award, our Agriculture Education program has purchased a PlasmaCAM fabrication system, and it will be ready for students as the new school year begins.
The new equipment will provide Howe students with hands-on experience using modern fabrication technology while expanding opportunities in Ag Mechanics and preparing them with skills they'll carry into college, careers, and the skilled trades.
Agriculture Instructor Bryan Beshear shared his excitement about what this means for Howe students:
"I am excited to help bring the new PlasmaCAM system to the Howe High School Ag Ed program, giving students hands-on experience with industry-standard fabrication technology. This opportunity builds real-world skills in design and precision cutting that are essential to modern agriculture and the skilled trades in Oklahoma."
He added:
"It will also take our Ag Mechanics projects to the next level, helping students fabricate custom parts for classic truck restorations and other hands-on builds. This is an investment in student opportunity, career readiness, and the future of Howe agriculture!"
This grant builds on an already outstanding Ag Mechanics program. Over the past two years, Howe Ag Mechanics students, under the guidance of Mr. John Smith and Mr. Bryan Beshear, completed an award-winning 1977 Chevrolet pickup. Students transformed the truck from a long-bed into a short-bed, lowered the suspension, completed an LS engine conversion, performed extensive sheet metal restoration, and created a unique patina-style maintenance shop truck that has earned multiple awards at area car shows. That project followed another successful student build—a beautifully restored 1959 Chevrolet short-bed pickup.
The work doesn't stop there. Students are currently restoring a 1977 Chevrolet short-wheelbase 4x4 and a 1987 Chevrolet short-wide 2WD pickup. With the new PlasmaCAM system now in place, students will soon begin incorporating this exciting technology into their future builds and fabrication projects.
Stay tuned as we take you inside the Howe Ag Mechanics shop throughout the school year, showcasing student projects, the new PlasmaCAM system in action, and the craftsmanship, creativity, and career-ready skills our students are developing every day.
Congratulations to Mr. Bryan Beshear, Mr. John Smith, and our incredible Howe Ag Mechanics and FFA students on this exciting milestone for Howe Agriculture Education!

Parents of high school students, please stop by the office to see Ms. Dora when you attend Parent Involvement Night on Tuesday, August 11. She needs a short, state-required form completed for each student and these forms are not available through PowerSchool. Also, incoming freshmen need to see Ms. Dora to pick up their 8th grade diplomas. Thank you and see you soon.
If you are new to Howe Schools, we need birth certificates, shot records, proof of residence, and CDIB cards if applicable as soon as possible.
🌻 From a Tiny Seed to Something Extraordinary 🌻 Some of the greatest lessons begin with something very small. Last school year, our first graders received a simple gift from Mrs. Carol Ann Ford in the library—a seed, a Solo cup, and an opportunity to learn. As they planted their seeds, they also discovered the lifecycle of a plant and learned that with sunlight, water, patience, and care, incredible growth is possible. Today, we’re excited to share Howe 1st grader, Lakelynn Mattox standing proudly beside the sunflower she grew from that tiny seed. What started as a classroom lesson has blossomed into something beautiful. It’s a wonderful reminder of what happens every day at Howe Public Schools. We plant seeds of curiosity, kindness, knowledge, and confidence in our students. With encouragement from teachers, support from families, and hard work from our students, those small beginnings grow into something far greater than anyone could imagine. Just like Lakelynn’s sunflower reached toward the sky, we’re proud to watch our students continue to grow, bloom, and shine—reaching higher with every opportunity they’re given. Way to go, Lakelynn! And thank you, Mrs. Ford, for planting more than just sunflower seeds—you planted a memory and a love of learning that will continue to grow for years to come. #HoweLions #GrowingGreatness #LearningThatBlooms #LionPride #SmallSeedsBigDreams 🌻📚

Congratulations to Howe 5th grade student athletes . . . Teryn Hildebrant, Mikah Twyman, and Jayla Thomas on an incredible accomplishment!
These outstanding Howe Lady Lions helped lead the N10SITY 5th Grade Travel Basketball Team to the 2026 2nd Annual Peach Jam National Championship, earning the title of 5th Grade Girls National Champions!
Winning a national championship is about much more than bringing home a trophy or a ring. It represents months of hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and countless hours spent practicing, learning, and growing together as a team. It also reflects the unwavering support of coaches, families, and teammates who believed in one another every step of the way.
At an age when these young athletes are still developing their skills, becoming National Champions is an extraordinary achievement and a testament to what can happen when commitment, teamwork, and determination come together with a shared goal.
Congratulations, Teryn, Mikah, and Jayla! Your Howe family is proud of the way you represent our school both on and off the court. Keep dreaming big and inspiring others through your hard work and sportsmanship!

“Live in the moment.”
We’re excited to see the impact Coach LeMay will have as he invests in our athletes both on and off the field.
Please join us in giving Coach LeMay a warm Howe Lions welcome!
