The Howard Collegiate Institute began its classes on October 2, 1883 for
girls and young women. Funds to start the school were provided by
Capt. Benjamin B. Howard born in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts on March 2, 1788. It
became known as The Howard Seminary for Women. It was a separate
enterprise as a private high school with buildings on the same campus as
The Howard High School. Drury Hall and Packard Hall were buildings for
this school.
