Howevalley Elementary
Welcome from the Principal Beth Handel
Welcome to Howevalley Elementary School, located in rural Hardin County, serving a community that is quite proud of its school's heritage. Howevalley graduated its first high schoolers in 1918. The last high school class graduated in 1962. After that the school served first through eighth grades. In 1988 Howevalley became a kindergarten through fifth grade school, added preschool in 1990 and continues to serve those grades today.
Howevalley provides a warm, nurturing atmosphere for its 258 students, 10 bus drivers, 4 food service personnel, 2 custodians and 45 staff members. This environment provides successful learning opportunities for our students. The Howevalley Comprehensive School Improvement Plan provides a roadmap of goals and strategies for increasing student achievement.
We look forward to working with you - students, teachers, parents and community. Together, we make Howevalley School the best in Hardin County.

CURRENT VERSION OF GED TEST TO EXPIRE
Hardin County Adult Education encourages adults
to finish and pass before test deadline
(Frankfort, Ky.)— Kentucky Adult Education has announced that the current version of the GED test will expire at the end of 2013. The current version, known as the 2002 Series GED test, will be replaced with the new 2014 GED test on January 2, 2014.
The important point that Kentuckians need to know is this – people who have taken the 2002 Series GED test, but have not passed all five parts, have only until December 18, 2013, to take the current test. If they do not pass all five parts by December 18, 2013, they will need to start over again in 2014 with the new GED test. More than 100 residents of Hardin County have passed parts, but not all, of the current GED test version.
“The GED test opens doors to the future by helping adults prepare for college and job training and get better jobs,” said Dr. Renae Harrison, Program Director, Hardin County Adult Education. “We want to be sure everyone is aware of this deadline. We strongly encourage GED test-takers to act now to finish and pass before the current test expires.
“Even if you haven’t already started testing, but getting your GED is something you need to do, this is your year,” she said. “Get started now.”
Hardin County Adult Education offers free classes to help adults earn their GED. The Hardin County Adult Education Center is located at 114 South Mulberry Street, Elizabethtown, Ky. The program can be reached by calling 270-769-8866. GED testing information is also available at www.finishtheGED.com.
