Welcome to Coach Howard’s classroom! I am starting my nineteenth year of teaching in New Albany and my 23rd year of coaching. I have a Bachelor’s degree in education from Otterbein as well as a physical and health education degree. I also have a Masters in the Art of Teaching degree from Marygrove College. This year I will be teaching sixth grade wellness, high school stress management, middle school wellness, and the high school physical education class at the middle school.

Working with middle level learners is a passion of mine! I have a family member who is a physical educator in Dublin who is one of my heroes and watching him grow in this profession inspired me to teach young people about being healthy for a lifetime.

Outside of school, I enjoy farming and gardening, camping, the outdoors, and spending time with my family and friends. My wife, Michelle, is an Occupational Therapist in our district and an amazing mom of 4. Mason, Hunter, Noah, and Brooke attend New Albany and participate in school and sports activities. I am looking forward to my best year yet!
