Meet Our New Staff . . . Please help us WELCOME Mr. Brett Casey, HS Vocational Business Teacher!
Hello. My name is Brett Casey, and I am beginning my 1st year in education... for the past 30 years I have worked in the corporate business world, and I am looking forward to sharing what I have learned with the students of my high school business classes.
I married into a long line of HHS alumni. My wife Jennifer currently teaches at Howe and my mother in law also taught there for 41 years. Jennifer and I have four kids between us, one of which Jentry Brown, graduated from Howe in 2016. In my spare time time I like to golf, fish and wakeboard.
I am very much looking forward to the challenges ahead, and I would like to thank Howe Public Schools for giving me the opportunity to do something I have always wanted to do! #HPSLions #LionStrong
One of the many precautionary measures we are putting in place this school year to ensure the safety of our students and staff is the installation of plexiglass dividers and sneeze guards. Due to high cost and low availability of similar product, the maintenance and custodial staff have been hard at work fabricating dividers to place in various high-risk areas including the cafeteria and classrooms where directional seating is not an option. The staff created these items utilizing 4 X 8 sheets of raw stock plexiglass purchased at Ron’s Discount Lumber. The staff worked on a cost effective design using a table saw, hand sanding and sealants.
We would like to give a BIG LION ROAR to several of our maintenance and custodial staff for a job well done! Big thank you to David Wright, Sean Covey, Natasha Hale, and Samantha Bebe for all your hard work in creating these and placing them throughout our campus. #HPSLions #LionStrong #WeAreAllInThisTogether #OklaEd
