Howells-Dodge Consolidated Schools serves Howells and Dodge and the country between them, in Colfax County. The district office is at P.O. Box 159. Nebraska school districts are run by a board elected locally, and the district is the body that hires the teachers, runs the buses and sets the calendar for every school under it. It belongs to Educational Service Unit 7 at Columbus, which supplies special education staff, technology support, training and shared services that a single district could not carry alone. Mail can be sent to PO Box 159, Howells NE 68641.
