Howard Middle School is a middle school located in Orlando, Florida, United States near the city's downtown.
The school, which is a part of the Orange County Public Schools, serves grades 6 through 8.
Howard has a rich history. The school was originally built in 1926, becoming the first school in the area only for high school students. The school was transitioned into a junior high school (7th-9th grades) in 1952, when two new high schools (Edgewater High School and William R. Boone High School) were built to relieve the growing population's need for additional education. In 1987, realignment shifted the grades at Howard to 6th-8th, and brought about the current name, Howard Middle School.
Howard MS was awarded the 5 Star School Award for the 2006-07 school year, recognizing the significant role that community contributions play in working with students.
Howard serves Thornton Park and much of downtown Orlando.
