Welcome to Howe Public Schools!
We’re excited to welcome Belinda Westfall. With 35 years of experience as an ELA teacher, school counselor, and most recently a college and career advisor, she brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for helping students take their next steps after graduation.
She looks forward to carrying on the strong program built by Mrs. Cindy Mitchell, guiding students through the sometimes overwhelming process of planning for college, career training, and life after high school.
Having many friends and family who work at Howe, she’s thrilled to join a school community that truly feels like home. Outside of school, she enjoys working in the garden, relaxing on the front porch with friends, spending time with her kids and grandkids, taking road trips to literary and historical sites, and camping near the water.
Let’s give her a warm Howe Lion welcome in the comments!

Just a reminder about the dismissal procedures that we started toward the end of last school year are still in place this year. If you have questions about where to pick up your child, ask their teacher and see the document and photo for more information.
