Make your reservations for Alumni Weekend NOW! October 3-5, 2025

Three loyal alums, L-R Lincoln Pomerleau 1992, Sabrina Majernik 1996, and Jason Landen 1999, gathered at the Cedar Point resort near Sandusky, Ohio, 21-22 June 2025. Our Association is trying to host gatherings where alum populations are highest. In 1929, for instance, there were more Howe cadets enrolled from Ohio (31) than from Indiana (29). Thanks to Lincoln, Sabrina, and Jason for helping to keep the legacy alive in northern Ohio.

With profound sadness we must report that years of deferred maintenance have resulted in the unmistakably stark beginnings of structural failure on our beloved St. James Chapel.

135 Years' History in the Alumni Club Class Pictures of the Honor Classes on the far wall. The beautiful fall weather in Sturgis over Alumni Weekend enhanced the camaraderie of renewing old friendships and exchanging stories about life at Dear Old Howe. None of those stories can be verified after all these years, but.... the best one I heard all weekend was this: first, remember that Howe Military™ means just that; everyone has a weapon. Most cadets have a rifle, while senior non-coms and officers have swords or sabres, respectively. The story described alleged local teen hot-rodders screeching [...]
