Howard High School

What Howard High School does

Howard High School is a public high school located at 6400 Forsyth Road in Macon, Georgia, operated by the Bibb County School District as a government educational entity. The school serves students in grades 9-12 (Classes of 2026 through 2029) and is led by Principal Michael Scott with two Assistant Principals, Chiquita Dinkins and John Hankinson. The institution offers a comprehensive educational program spanning 13 Advanced Placement courses, honors and gifted/accelerated tracks, Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) pathways, fine arts (band, chorus, orchestra, theatre, visual arts), and 15+ athletic programs including esports. Student support services include dual enrollment with four regional colleges (Central Georgia Technical College, Georgia Military College, Middle Georgia State University, Wesleyan College), work-based learning, the Program for Exceptional Children (special education), ESOL services, school nursing, and dedicated grade-level counselors.

The school's technology stack reflects conventional K-12 enterprise software procurement rather than proprietary platform development. Core systems include Infinite Campus (student information), ClassLink (single sign-on), Canvas (learning management), Follett Destiny (library), GALILEO (Georgia virtual library), and Sora (ebooks), supplemented by communication platforms (ParentSquare, Remind, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meets), athletic operations tools (GoFan, NFHS Network, HUDL, MaxPreps, DragonFly Max), and administrative services (Parchment for transcripts, CareDox for health records). Differentiated frameworks include the Leader In Me leadership program (in its sixth year) and the PBIS behavioral framework, both of which earned school-level recognition.

Howard High School does not generate commercial revenue. As a Title I public school funded through state, local, and federal education budgets, there is no tuition and no customer-acquisition motion; enrollment is managed through district registration. Five consecutive years of AP Honor School recognition (2020-2024) plus AP STEM and AP Access & Support honors in 2024 provide reputational anchoring. Customer segments are entirely captive to the Bibb County geography, with primary end-users (students), secondary stakeholders (parents/families), and a tertiary military family support segment.
