Francis Howell Forward is a nonpartisan Political Action Committee (PAC). We seek out candidates who uphold our mission to protect public schools and prepare our students for a future in a diverse workforce. We are dedicated to a transparent endorsement process. This includes:

• A public call for candidates

• A candidate survey

• An interview for each interested candidate

• Recommendations given by interviewers to our leadership

• A leadership vote to endorse

 

Francis Howell Forward strives for collaborative, adaptive, and honest civic leadership. This year, we were honored to interview many upstanding community members eager to set a new direction for our district. The three candidates chosen for 2026 have been engaged parents and leaders in our community—both as volunteers and professionals. Each brings a unique skill set, a positive outlook, and a passion for Francis Howell.

​

Together, these leaders are prepared to meet the most pressing challenges of our district: significant financial concerns, teacher retention, and improving culture and climate. We trust these candidates will listen to the patrons of our district and make decisions to benefit all Francis Howell students and families, even those who did not vote for them.
 

Please note: If you were interested in running for the board and we missed you, please reach out to chat about next year!
