Thanks for remembering me Levon. I hold a special place in my heart for all those I met and the friends I made, I will always cherish the days at de la howe. It was my home for a long time and I still call it home the friends I made I call family now. So glad I had the opportunity to experience all that de la howe had to offer

This is a shout out to all people I remember in these postings. Pam Harris, we spent all those years together, 63 till U graduated early 1970. Conny Dempsey, I had a crush on you, I was 13 you were in huganaut cot. Joe Moore, you were like a big brother, and Lewis and I would be in trouble on campus or Columbia until we matured and I treated Jeanne like she was my sister. Also, Joann Alewine I remember your name, I drove the big farm truck and lived in hesster cot when you came there. I have not been back to the campus since the mid 70s and family and work in far away places took over. De la Howe gave us a place to grow up if you tried. I hope it still will help the youth of today. Levon Smith

De la Howe will give your son more opportunities to learn and grow. I know it is hard to let him go, the things he will gain from the programs available at the school will take him a long way into his future. sincerely, Jo Ann Alewine Durst Alumnus 1969-1972

My son is 15 years old and he was accepted at John de la Howe on August 6, 2012. I miss him but his education is very important to me so I let him go three hours and 45 minutes away from home to get a better education for himself.

I was at John de la Howe as a student from May 1958 untill June 1962. First started out in the Old Infirmary with Ms. Stepenson, later to Savanah cottage, then to Carolina cottage. I worked on the dairy with Mr. Al. Thank you Dr. Gettys and Mr. Bennett back then. Great memories.

I was at John De La Howe School 84-86, It was a place that will always stay in my heart, I have not been back in a bit, but plan on making the next get together. I was in Abbeville Cottage. Some of those special people that helped us are no longer with us, but if I could say something to them , it would be THANK YOU !
