Cora Howe School

Field Trips

High School students spent an afternoon learning about possible job opportunities.

Middle School students spent time at the Frist checking out their latest exhibits.

Cora Howe Proud Parade

For the 2nd year in a row Cora Howe held a parade showcasing our drumline, students, staff, and families. Once again, we marched from the school to Eastland Park, where the drumline preformed, then retraced our footsteps back to school where a feast was provided. Food was provided by staff and families with something for everyone. This year the weather was a little on the cold side, hopefully it will be warmer next year.

Thank you, Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Skinner, for planning such a fun event!

Teacher of the Year

Mr. Nate Jacobson

Mr. Jacobson is new to Cora Howe but has taught in MNPS for 4 years. He can be found in our High School cluster teaching; Transition which covers life skills, job skills, and school skills- getting students ready for the real world. His students are also getting to share in his passion for cooking as each week they create something new.

Support Staff of the Year

Ms. Shay Patton

Ms. Patton is in her 2nd year with Cora Howe. Before coming to work with our family she worked at Inglewood as their Bookkeeper. She is doing an amazing job keeping us all on track.

Morgan Wallen Foundation Grant

Mr. Ethan Wolfe has been awarded a $5000.00 grant from the Morgan Wallen Foundation. Mr. Wolfe was nominated for the grant by Melanie Hamblin, MA, BCBA, LBA. She was observing a student here last year and was very impressed with the way Mr. Wolfe interacted with the students in his music class.

Mr. Wolfe says he plans to buy more music instruments for the students. Please keep a watch on our school calendar. When music events are planned, they will be listed on the calendar.  The first event will be a parade. Like last year we will march from the school to the park over on Douglas. The drums will do their thing, along with whatever else Mr. Ehan has planned, and then everyone will march back to school. 

Come join us!       

Bench

A huge THANK YOU to the amazing carpenters at Nashville Tools for Schools for refinishing our antique pew. This pew has been a staple in our school for more years than anyone can remember, and it now looks better than ever. We appreciate you #nashtfs!
