At Colleen and Gordie Howe Middle, they have the strong belief that every student is entitled to receive a quality education, provided by the best of their ability, regardless of the child’s ability or background. Education is an individual’s “ticket” to become anything he/she wants to be, regardless of personal circumstances.

WEB: Where Everyone Belongs

This unique school orientation and transition program begins at the end of August through the school year with the focus on grade six students. WEB leaders are mentors and student leaders who guide the sixth grade students. The goal is to welcome sixth grade students and to make them feel comfortable throughout the first year of their middle school experience. They help sixth grade students in discovering what it takes to be successful during the transition to Howe Middle School.

Howe Music

One of the important values Howe Middle wants to represent is the bringing together the many cultures of the students. Music at Howe is a way to bring together the different cultures, allowing to celebrate as one community. Music students are able to partake in many performances and cultural events throughout the year at school and in the community.

Some examples of cultural diversity in their music

• Concert Band: traditional woodwind, orchestral percussion, and western classical music
• Guitar Ensemble: famous rock tunes, and acoustic guitar
• Choir
