WHAT IS PRIDE IN DEVELOPMENT?
Mission- Pride in Development is committed to creating a global change through small steps, starting in the Howard High School Community. We will be providing supplies to countries in need, while connecting the youth in the community to the world they live in through fundraisers, events, and presentations.
We are headquartered at Howard High School, but hope to branch out to other nearby schools in Howard County

part of English law and which are now the foundation of the constitution of all countries which speak English.
