Activities Department Releases "Be A Viking" Motto For 20-21 School Year
During the 20-21 school year the Howell Activities Department will be asking student-participants, staff, parents and fans to "Be A Viking" as they participate and support the many activities, clubs and sports at Howell. Nearly 75% of students at Howell participate in an activity, club or sport and the benefits of that involvement are endless. The focus of "Be A Viking" during the upcoming school year will further promote and enhance the experience for those within the "Howell Family" and will continue to help our programs represent our school and community in a positive way.
The Howell Activities Department has long held the belief that all Howell programs should promote high achievement in all activities/sports, in the classroom, and in our community. Preparing our student-participants is our top priority and being involved in a Howell activity enhances the overall high school experience of students, staff, and parents alike. Howell programs recognize the role they play in developing successful students who represent our programs, Francis Howell High School, the community, and their families in a positive way.
The Francis Howell Activities Department and its programs have had a set of core values that have guided its programs the last six years. The core values of respect, integrity, sportsmanship, and excellence, better known as R.I.S.E., are vital in the development of the young men and women in all Howell programs. The R.I.S.E. core values are the foundation of the programs at Howell and also provide a foundation for future success for student-participants long after they leave Howell.
The R.I.S.E. core values are communicated in Howell programs in the following way:
Respect - Student-participants, staff, parents and Viking fans respect and value others.
Integrity - Student-participants, staff, parents, and Viking fans demonstrate their integrity by being honest and trustworthy in their actions. The preparation of our students to become leaders, good citizens and contributors to the community is a commitment by all involved in Howell activities.
Sportsmanship - Student-participants, staff, parents and Viking fans practice the ideals of sportsmanship and are leaders within the framework of a competitive environment.
Excellence - Student-participants, staff, parents and Viking fans are in pursuit of excellence in sport, activity, in the classroom and in our community. Our focus on excellence remains constant as we strive to create positive and successful experiences for all involved.
During the 20-21 school year we hope that all Howell Family members will "Be A Viking" and help represent our programs and continue the long standing tradition of success and pride of being a Howell Viking.

Message To Incoming Vikings & Parents From Activities Director Sean Erwin
Parents of Future Vikings,
I hope you and your family are having a great start to your summer. In order to keep you better informed and also to help ensure that your incoming Viking is prepared and has the correct information for our fall activities and sports, I have included some important information for you below. I hope you find the information beneficial and it helps prepare your student for the upcoming school year. We want nothing more than for your student to have success and to benefit from the successful programs we have at Howell and the information below is the first step in ensuring a great start to the fall and their involvement in activities and sports at Howell.
Currently at Howell we have nearly 75% of our students that participate in an activity, club or sport. What do we know about these students? These students that are involved and attached to Howell have higher attendance rates, higher GPA’s, lower incidents of discipline and these students also report more positive experiences at Howell than those not involved. As you and your student begin a great four years at Howell, we hope that you choose to get involved and to enjoy the many benefits of being involved in our Howell family outside the normal school day.
Howell offers a wide array of activities, clubs and sports. You can find a list of all of these great opportunities here - http://www.howellvikings.com/page/3030 Many of these activities begin prior to school starting this fall. If you plan on being involved in a MSHSAA sponsored sport or activity this fall there are several important pieces that are necessary prior to competing. To find this information you can go to our www.howellvikings.com website and click on the tab on the right hand side that reads “MSHSAA Activities/Sports Registration” for more information regarding our fall MSHSAA sponsored activities and sports. Please be aware there are deadlines for registering and completing the online eligibility process that must be completed prior to participating in a fall activity or sport.
Additionally, you can stay informed by utilizing any of the resources I have included below. These will help you navigate any questions you may have coming into your first year at Howell. The Howell Activities Department takes pride in its many forms of communication to stay informed and its promotion and recognition of student-participants involved in our over 70 activities, clubs and sports. Staying connected to Howell activities, clubs and sports has never been easier!
