Howard School, built in 1888, is the second oldest surviving African American School in the state of Missouri. It is a rare example of a Missouri school with documentation linking its early history to each of the three principal agencies that were responsible for the development of African American schools in the state following the Civil War: the American Missionary Association, the Freedmen’s Bureau, and the Missouri Public Schools system.
