Old Southard School heavily used
It has been a year and a half since the Howell PAL moved into their new home in the old Southard School and Sgt. Chris Hill of the Howell Police Department said it has been a time of exceeding expectations. Since moving to the one central location Hill said they have not only been able to offer previously popular programs but also added new ones that have also brought people to the once empty building.

In the past few months a definitive answer has come as the old elementary school is becoming a community center to be used by the whole town. At Wednesday night's meeting of the Howell Board of Education, Board Secretary Ronald Sanasac gave the first full update on the status of the building and how it is currently being used. "The board's goal of creating a community learning and enrichment center at the Southard building while also enhancing revenue is going along very well," he said.
