The school was formerly known as Howard County Senior High School. The population is both culturally and economically diverse with over three quarters of the graduates enrolling in post-secondary institutions.
The school is boxed by Maryland Route 108, Maryland Route 104, and immediately southwest of Maryland Route 100 and is visible from the highway. It is located 11 miles outside of Baltimore.
Like all other Howard County high schools, Howard High has a yearlong schedule that provides students with the opportunity to earn seven credits. Currently the school has a schedule which includes 6 fifty minute classes per day, with the fourth period alternating between A day and B day so the students earn a total of 7 credits per year.

The renovation also provided the Art and Science Department with a new state of the art Darkroom and several brand new laboratories.
