CBS station WMAZ-TV highlighted Howard High School's newly opened "Howling Huskie" coffee shop as "real-life coffee shop experience while students get real-life work experience". HHS students in the Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) program run the café. History Opened in 2008, the $28 million school complex was dedicated in 2009, "the result of a long grassroots campaign to build a high school in the fast-growing northern part of Bibb County". In 1999, the Bibb County School District had bought a Christmas tree farm on Forsyth Road, and secured funding with a sales tax approved by voters to build schools in the northern and southern parts of the county. A second sales tax initiative, passed in 2004, was needed to complete construction on Howard High in north Bibb County. In 2011, athletic facilities under construction at HHS included "a field house for its football team, as well as a new tennis court, baseball and softball fields and other facilities, to add to its existing practice fields."
