\"Howe Military Academy was a private, co-educational and college preparatory boarding school located on a 100-acre (0.40 km2) campus in Howe, Indiana. The school, which enrolled students for grades 5 through 12, opened in 1884, and closed after the 2018–19 academic year.

Founded in the fall of 1884, Howe Grammar School,[2] later renamed Howe Military Academy, was established as a preparatory school for young men who were seeking ordination to the priesthood of the Episcopal Church.[2] The school\'s formation was largely the result of a bequest of John Badlam Howe, who died in 1883. His widow, Frances Marie Glidden Howe, and James Blake Howe, along with the Right Reverend David B. Knickerbacker third Episcopal bishop of Indiana, and Dr. Charles Spaulding, the first rector at Howe, took the $10,000 bequest left by John Howe and increased it to $50,000 to establish Howe Grammar School for boys.[2] The school opened in the former home of Mr. and Mrs. Howe, built in 1844, with two boys.[2] The school became a military school in 1895,[2] and fully co-educational in 1988,[2] with Company A (Alpha) being the all-female company consisting of day students and those that live on campus full-time. \"
