We believe the military program makes Howe a better school. Here it is used as a time honored approach to facilitate education. For centuries, military training has been utilized to create pride, efficiency and success. At Howe, we use the techniques of the military to teach our students pride in their academic work and overall performance. The military program is a proven tool for preparing our graduates for success in college and in life.

Our military program is not intended to prepare students for military service. Howe’s military training in leadership gives our students a competitive edge regardless of their career paths. Graduates credit the self-discipline and organization they learned, at Howe, for their success in life.

Howe is designated a military institute JROTC program and has earned the designation of “Honor Unit with Distinction” – the JROTC program’s highest recognition.

Leadership, Education, and Training (LET) are required JROTC classes for all cadets in grades 9-12. Our LET classes enable our students to learn leadership, earn rank and learn how to meet their responsibilities as mature young adults.
