Welcome!
Howard Area Leadership Academy intends to provide an outstanding public educational experience to high school students of diverse economic and ethnic backgrounds, principally serving educationally and economically disadvantaged students. We equip our students to achieve at their potential, attend a college of their choice, and give back to their communities.
Leadership can take many forms. At HALA, we want all students to discover their capacity to lead. In order to find that voice, students need a supportive community around them. What truly sets HALA apart from many other public high schools is the support offered through our small classes and an extensive tutoring and counseling program. All students can benefit from a rigorous academic program if there is sufficient support to ensure success.
