Mrs. Howell teaches 6th grade advanced social studies that challenges students to think critically by applying content knowledge and literacy strategies to learn history through discovery and exploration of primary and secondary sources. Mrs. Howell has high expectations for her students and provides a supportive learning environment to prepare them for high school and beyond. We love hearing from her former students who return to thank her for the foundation she helped them build to be successful in their high school AP classes and on the ACT.
In addition to being an incredible social studies teacher, Mrs. Howell is a leader on our campus. She is the Social Studies Department Chair, Title I Facilitator, 6th grade lead teacher, Yearbook sponsor, History Club/NHD sponsor, and member of the Leadership Team. Mrs. Howell, according to Taylor Swift your energy is expensive, and we are grateful each day that you choose to share your talents with our faculty and students. We hope you enjoy your surprise movie ticket to enjoy the world premiere tomorrow afternoon!
