Congratulations to Ni’Kayla Howard, a senior at Early College High School, for being named the District Secondary Student of the Month for April.

Ni’Kayla is the type of student you can trust to get things done, keep it real, tell it straight, and love you all simultaneously.  

She knows how to treat others and makes a respectful differentiation between peers and adults. She is enthusiastic about the future and plans on pursuing a double major at Texas Southern University.

Congratulations, Ni'Kayla!
