Mrs.Howard is the Director of the Science Research Program at Lincoln High School. She started her career with the NYC Department of Education and has experience teaching both Math and Science from grades 6 through 12. Most recently, she taught middle school science at School Five engaging 7th graders in independent research and preparing 8th graders for the NYS Living Environment Exam. She was also actively involved in all aspects of the school, including initiating and maintaining the School Five Apple Orchard, My Brother's Keeper Program, School Yearbook and School website.

One of her favorite quotes is by Nelson Mandela: " Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." She believes that all children should grow up in a supportive, safe and nurturing environment where they are respected and loved. An educated and empathetic child makes better decisions for themselves and others, growing up to be a well informed and successful member of their community. She strives to look at the whole child and help remove obstacles that might impede learning so children can succeed. It is through their success that she succeeds!
