Athletics

Welcome to the HISD Athletics Department!

Athletic Philosophy

Athletics is an opportunity for students to learn to work together and see the values of hard work and sportsmanship. Athletics should not be viewed as an embellishment of the school. Athletics is just as important as any aspect of the curriculum. Athletics is a motivating factor for the academic success of students and drives the culture of the school.

Mission Statement

Our mission in Howe is to promote the personal growth of our players, believe in a strong work ethic that leads to being thorough and prepared, represent Howe in a positive way, and promote the elements of teamwork and leadership.
