It was originally known as Irvington High School and was meant to serve the Irvington neighborhood and surrounding areas on the eastside of Indianapolis. The first classes were in 1938. After opening, the school was renamed for Thomas Carr Howe, a Butler University president.
The school closed down in 1995. Howe reopened in 2000 as a community high school serving grades 7-12 school under the name Thomas Carr Howe Community High School.[1] Howe was eventually re-closed again in 2020.
