The Cadet Battalion Commander and Cadet Company Commanders, under the supervision of the Dean of Students and the TAC Officers, are responsible for the day-to-day life and the performance of the Corps.  Our daily schedule and activities keep the cadets accounted for and busy each day.

Moral & Behavioral Standards

Our Rules and Regulations are designed to help the student at Howe mature.  Cadets learn the moral and behavioral standards one must keep in life and they learn that all actions have consequences.  Infractions of Howe rules are dealt with swiftly and justly.  Our objective is to teach the concepts of responsibility and accountability that form the foundation for success throughout the individual’s life.  Cadets never impose punishment directly on other cadets.  Serious violations of the rules are reviewed by a Disciplinary Review Council consisting of senior school administrators.

Military Structure Based on JROTC Curriculum

The Howe School’s Office of the Commandant uses a military structure based on JROTC curriculum to provide cadets with a clear system of rewards and coherent code of conduct.  Central to this curriculum is the Department of the Army’s Junior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (JROTC) classroom outline, which emphasizes Leaderrship, Education, and Training.  This program is overseen by the United States Army Cadet Command in Fort Monroe, Virginia.  The Howe School does not recruit or train for military service.  Working closely with The Howe School’s Commandant of Cadets and school administrators, the JROTC program provides the backbone to the Corps military structure.

Athletics Program

A rich and well balanced cadet life includes a comprehensive athletic program that builds both a strong body and a student’s self confidence carrying with it varying degrees of honor and responsibility representing Howe and the cadet corps. The athletic program, at Howe, prepares students for a lifetime of physical fitness.
