Howe Public Schools

This week's Intern of the Week - Camryn Vickers: If you want to see a Howe Intern at work, drop by the Affordable After Hours Healthcare Clinic in Heavener and meet Camryn Vickers, Howe Senior. She works one hour each day with Nurse Practitioner, Melinda Scantling. Camryn has her Certified Nurses Aid certification and is working toward her Certified Medical Assistant certification through KTC. These are the first steps Camryn has been taking to reach her goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner after high school graduation. Good luck, Camryn! #HPSLions

Reminder: Thursday, Nov 5 will be Makeup/Retake Picture Day for any missed pictures as well as pictures for Basketball and Cheer. We will begin at 8 am in the new gym. Students may come over anytime for Retakes (Please note there is a $2 fee for retakes.) Any Virtual or Blended Learning Students that are needing pictures made can also step in anytime. Photographers will plan to be here until 3 pm. #HPSLions
