Howard High School serves families from Ellicott City, Elkridge, Hanover and Columbia, Maryland〔http://www.hcpss.org/f/schools/profiles/prof_hs_howard.pdf〕 and is part of the Howard County Public School System. ==School history== In 1938, Howard County used WPA money and bus contracts to consolidate and close many one-room schoolhouses into several central schools. Most of the county saw little school construction until after World War II. The school board recommended a single central high school for all white students in the entire county. By 1949, a state bond bill seemed imminent, and plans were refined for a central high school serving the first, second and sixth county districts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/hcpssmd/archive.nsf/2e010f82a76b56d485256e7400431d45/15cea609b5f4065f8725762400606e46/$FILE/01-04-1949%20-%2012-06-1949.pdf )〕 A site was picked at the family farm of General Charles D. Gaither, whose grandfather, George R. Gaither, once raised cavalry for J. E. B. Stuart onsite. Bids were opened on 26 April 1951 with prices ranging from $838,000 to $683,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/hcpssmd/archive.nsf/2e010f82a76b56d485256e7400431d45/5899591aa778457b872575040054c469/$FILE/04-26-1951.PDF )〕 Four additional rooms were ordered in 1952 for an additional $30,000 in expenses. 12 additional acres were purchased from the Gaither family for $5,000, with board member Charles E. Miller contributing $2,500 for the land and demolition of the "colored house and corn crib" on the property.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/hcpssmd/archive.nsf/2e010f82a76b56d485256e7400431d45/534cbd685063704687257624004b5fb0/$FILE/01-08-1952%20-%2012-02-1952.pdf )〕 Five names were picked for the school.
