Clement Howell High School officially opened its doors in September 1987 as a co-educational secondary institution. For the past years it has focused on achieving the mission which is:

“to facilitate an environment of learning for the students… in order to produce optimally rounded individuals who can function effectively and contribute to the national development of the Turks and Caicos Islands. To produce avenues for increasing educational opportunities in a healthy environment where teachers are committed to the enhancement of their total performance in society, thus promoting excellence.”

The mission of the school is consistent with the Education Policy (2005) which calls for “providing opportunities for all within our shores in order to enrich the quality of life; provide a creative mix of options that would foster a love of learning and open avenues for the gifted and less gifted and the physically and mentally challenged, in pursuit of development in a tolerant and embracing society.”
