History of Howalton Day School

Howalton Day School was started by three dedicated teachers who felt that the public school system wasn't working in favor of African American school children. The public school system was over crowded and there was behavior problems. Howalton Day School started in 1946 in bronzeville. The school at first was from preschool to kinegarden and as the years went on the school went from first grade to the eighth.

Earth,Wind and Fire: The soundtrack of my life

When I was a student at Howalton Day School I loved Earth, Wind and Fire. Besides Michael Jackson they was and still is the greatest soul band around. Their best songs was Love Holiday, On Your Face and Imagination. They played these songs in every skateing rink in Chicago and in all 50 states in America.The best is yet to come for this soul band as their c d drops with many new songs for generations to come!

Great America

When I went to Howalton Day School I rode Mr.Draper's school bus and one summer my family's club rented his school bus to great america. It was so much fun and I rode the demon rollercoaster and all the other rides. It rained that day and my sister's boyfriend Micheal Ian Howard hat got wet and he looked like a hillbilly. Everyone got wet because of the rain. Everyone had fun even if it did rain.

The beginning

When my sister Annette was in the first grade she went to the neighborhood school and the neighborhood was changing the teacher took mom to the side and told her to take Annette out of that school because of that reason! Avalon was becoming a bad school and this teacher told my mother about Howalton Day School! This teacher also told my mother not to send me to Avalon and to send me to Howalton Day School! The rest was history and it was a good one!
