Founded in the fall of 1884 Howe Grammar School, [1] 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.[1] 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 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.[1] The school opened in the former home of Mr. and Mrs. Howe, built in 1844, with two boys.[1] The school became a military school in 1895,[1] and fully co-educational in 1988,[1] with Company A (Alpha) being the all-female company consisting of day students and those that live on campus full-time. {{Citation needed|date=January 2018}} As of September 2008, Howe was one of 28 military schools in the United States, down from a high of 125 such schools, and one of only 2 in Indiana.[1] For many years, the Howe house has been the home of the chaplain who serves Howe Military Academy. This was the house in which John B. Howe drafted the 1851 Constitution of the State of Indiana. {{Citation needed|date=January 2018}} St. James Memorial Chapel is on the National Register of Historic Places. On March 18th 2019, Howe announced it would be closing its doors due to operational and fiscal challenges. SportsHowe Military does not compete in a conference structure.
