A Message from Ms. Turner:
Welcome all new and returning Dr. Howard Owls! I am thrilled to be coming back for my third year as principal. I hope that you are enjoying your summer break and resting up for the school year ahead. For those of you that may not know me, my motto is “All for the kids”. This means that everything I do, all of the decisions I make, and how our school runs revolves around what is best for children. I have been busy in the office over the month of June planning for a very fun 2025-2026 school year! If you don’t already, please make sure to follow up on Facebook and Instagram for updates. -Samantha Turner
