By 1917, students in Howland attended the first Howland Centralized High School, with transportation being provided through horse-drawn vans. The first graduation of the Howland High School was held in 1921, with Anna Mary Strudoff serving as the school's first ever graduate, and the schools lone graduate of the class of 1921.[2]
