Howard Savage was nominated by his spouse, Angela Savage.

According to social psychologist, Geert Hofstede, culture is the school’s personality, whereas climate is the school’s attitude. As the principal of Quitman High School, Mr. Savage realized that creating a positive school culture could be the catalyst for change within the school. This was the rationale for three programs/projects initiated to improve student achievement at QHS:

  • Panther Nation Campaign
  • PBIS Panther Paw Incentive Program, and
  • Re-Alignment of Curriculum and Instruction.

The Panther Nation Campaign had three objectives, to build relationships among stakeholders, highlight positive things at QHS, and establish community partnerships. First, to build relationships, Mr. Savage held individual meetings with all 36 teachers and 527 students. According to New Teacher Induction authors Annette Breaux and Harry Wong, teachers remain in their positions when they feel supported by administrators, have bonds with other teachers, and pursue a collective culture of student success.

To accomplish the second objective, Mrs and Mrs. Savage's leadership team implemented a schoolwide marketing plan and asked the broadcasting classes to create videos to generate a buzz around being a part of Panther Nation. These videos were uploaded to the school district’s webpage, social media sites, and the NFHS website. Ultimately, these videos generated buy-in from students, teachers, parents, and community members.

The third objective of building community partnerships was accomplished by scheduling several community events to promote the school’s mission and vision. The most successful community event was called Panther Nation Unite, which had over 800 stakeholders in attendance. During Panther Nation Unite, the school board members served refreshments to stakeholders. Panther Nation Unite was the largest parental involvement event ever held at QHS, and it galvanized the community. 

Mr. Savage implemented the PBIS Panther Paw Program schoolwide with the following objectives: to reduce referral rates by 25%, increase attendance, increase academic achievement,  improve school culture, and increase time on task. When teachers observed students doing something good, they would receive a panther paw. Furthermore, students may also provide panther paws to effective teachers. Each week, names would be drawn from a raffle of students and teachers who were given a panther paw to receive an incentive. During the 2016-2017 school year, over 500 students and all 36 teachers received a PBIS incentive. During this time, Mr. Savage used his personal finances to fund the program for his stakeholders. Discipline referrals decreased by 25%, student failures decreased by 40%, student attendance was 93%, teacher attendance was 96%, and a hybrid-schedule was implemented.

Mr. Savage knew that his school would have to strategically re-align its curriculum and instruction. Mr. and Mrs. Savage implemented the following initiatives based on the school’s data: placing students into courses based on test scores, eliminating non-rigorous courses, increasing observations by 80%, purchasing a universal screener, providing professional development for staff, increasing dual credit and advanced placement courses, and hiring an instructional facilitator.

"These strategies helped move Quitman High School to a B rated school with 193 total growth points on the Mississippi Accountability Model, and this is why I believe my husband is a LifeChanger for his learning organization," Angela Savage said.

He is the best principal I have ever had he makes me smile every time I see him and is always there for me I love dr savage a lot

Dr, Savage strives with enthusiasm to provide students with a quality public education each day. He communicates with students, teachers and parents to bring out the best in all stakeholders. Because Dr. Savage prioritizes sound classroom instruction, he influences teachers to prepare professionally to meet students' needs. Dr. Savage is a jewel in that he speaks to up and coming educators and encourages them to earn their credentials and proceed with purpose into the ranks of teaching. Dr. Savage is known throughout the state for his accomplishments as he has been recognized by numerous professional groups and organizations. From the days when he taught United States History students and prepared 100% of them to pass the state test until his current administrator situation, Dr. Savage is a LifeChanger.

What a deserving nominee you have in Howard Savage! I have both benefited from and imitated his methods with my own children and others. Energy poured over character produces a white-hot fire of change. My friend and colleague, Dr. Savage, is that cocktail.

Dr. Howard Savage is well-deserving of the LifeChanger of the Year Award! His passion for student success and strategic actions are changing the lives of the students in the Quitman School District. I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Howard Savage when he was selected to attend the Mississippi School Boards Association Prospective Superintendent Leadership Academy (PSLA), a yearlong program that prepares administrators for the challenging role of superintendent. As the facilitator of the program, part of my role is informally evaluating the participants. Dr. Savage is unassumingly impressive. During the PSLA, he was always the first student in class, arriving at least an hour early for each meeting. He was humble, positive, and eager to learn. He contributed to discussions, shared best practices with his colleagues, gleaned from their experiences, and displayed noticeable soft skills and a strong work ethic. After observing Dr. Savage in class, having conversations with him, reviewing data for his school, and reading articles about him; I asked a superintendent who knew him well, “Is Howard Savage the real deal?” To which he replied, “He IS the real deal! He knows curriculum, school climate, and how to move a school forward. I tried to get him in my district, but he had already committed to Quitman.” The superintendent confirmed just what I thought – that Dr. Savage’s laser-focus on student success is evidenced by the achievements Quitman High School is experiencing under his leadership. I believe this LifeChanger will become an outstanding superintendent one day. I am excited for the children in Mississippi who will be blessed by the leadership of Dr. Howard Savage!

I've seen hundreds of principals over the years, but there is only one Howard Savage. The enthusiasm for education he shows is unparalleled. Mr. Savage is able to connect with his students and bring them with him on his quest for student achievement. Some students may get into trouble and have to be disciplined, but Mr. Savage navigates those situations in such a meaningful way that they come through that experience with a respect for themselves and him. It's rare to see an educator who is able to reach so many students in such a meaningful way across such broad behavioral and demographic categories. His energy and positivity are infectious and they affect the entire school climate, lifting spirits, increasing focus and impacting student outcomes.

Cierra Ball-Williams Posted over a year ago

Dr Savage is a phenomenal leader. He goes above and beyond to support his family, school, community, and aspiring 21st century leaders. He strives to reach those in need and inspires everyone he meets. Dr. Savage is an amazing person and I am honored to have been apart of his leadership course. Thank you Dr. Savage for inspiring me to become a great leader!

His passion for education does not go unnoticed along with his heart for tomorrow's leaders. Dr. Savage is a difference maker who strives for excellence in all that he does,

Joyce Helmick Posted over a year ago

Since meeting and getting to know Dr. Howard Savage, I have witnessed first hand this true example of a LifeChanger. The fact that he has made a tremendous impact at Quitman High School places him in the high ranks of life changers because he does touch students daily and as he does so he is changing the lives of, not just one or two, but many. On a visit to his school in the fall I was greeted by two student school leaders who had been touched by Dr. Savages training. They were phenomenal and gave credit to their principal for their achievements as well as those of the school body as a whole. I have also been privileged to serve with Dr. Savage on some important committees. One of those is the MDE State Testing Taskforce in which his voice as an administrator has given credit to the educator voice which is so needed on this taskforce. Dr. Savage also serves on one of Mississippi Association of Educators' most important committees, the MAE Professional Development Advisory Committee. Again, his input has been invaluable to the teaching profession. I would like to also add that Dr. Savage was honored at the Mississippi Association of Educators 1st Annual Excellence in Education Awards Gala last March as our Administrator of the Year. I am proud to know Dr. Savage and believe he is indeed a LifeChanger. His enthusiasm is contagious and his love for young people and the education of those young people is evident in everything he does. Changing lives is not an easy task and calls for someone who is devoted and dedicated to the cause and in this case, the cause of education.

Christy Maulding Posted over a year ago

Howard is a great school, district and state leader in our education system. He is a relational, visionary that wants the best for his district and students. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Howard over the last few years and he is a genuine, dedicated leader. He would be an excellent recipient for this honor.

Felicia James Posted over a year ago

Corey Boykin Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage is a fine example of not only a school leader, but also a key player in his community. He strives for excellence for those who have the opportunity to be taught and led by him. He truly is a life changer.

Jastassia Johnson Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage is an amazing person who truly inspires those he meet. He believes in teachers, students, leaders, and future leaders. He is a true example of perseverance and not giving up when others count you out. He deserves Life Changer of the Year award because he has and continues to make a huge impact in education. He continues to mentor leaders and always available for others with no expectations. Thanks Dr. Savage for all you have done for me!

Cassandra Conner Posted over a year ago

I am honored to support Dr. Howard Savage's nomination for Lifesaver of the Year. I first met Dr. Savage when he enrolled as a student in the Educational Leadership program at William Carey University. It was apparent from the assignments that he submitted that he was committed to his profession and that he always considered the best interests of students when making decisions. Dr. Savage has distinguished himself as an effective administrator and a positive role model for his students. He is very worthy of this recognition.

Maddison Smith Posted over a year ago

I am so thankful to get to experience such a wonderful principal.Mr. savage has changed this school for the better and i am glad i get the chance to say hey i had him for my principal. He is such a life changer. Everyday he will have a smile on his face and he never has an excuse for anything. He will own up to his mistakes and is not afraid to say that he makes them. He is such a positive role model to every student at Quitman High School.

Babette Duty Posted over a year ago

Howard Savage is a member of what I think of as the "new calvary". He has come into the field of education with the kind of passion and enthusiasm for students that makes the difference in a time when the average person would question his sanity for choosing education as his career. His expectations are so high that if a kid misses his mark, they will still be awesome humans. That is what this world needs - men who care enough to ask kids to reach their potential. He is real, he is present, and he expects the best of himself and all those in his circle of influence. He is definitely a life changer.

Richard Baliko Posted over a year ago

To whom this may concern, Dr. Savage serves on the Mississippi Department of Education Accountability Task force, which is comprised of a diverse group of educators across the state of Mississippi. We are charged at reviewing various components of the Mississippi Statewide Accountability System and to recommend changes based on various forms of impact data. I hope that he will be selected for Lifechanger of the Year. Thanks!

Hope Cooley Posted over a year ago

Dr. Howard Savage is someone who spends unconditional time and service toward establishing a better future for all who enter into the walls of Quitman High School and who he encounter. He has redirected the vision of our nation through words of change, encouragement, and inspiration. He has been the voice of change for students, staff, administration, community leaders and family. Making a change in life of others is the ministry that God has given Dr. Savage. There is something about Dr. Savage that brings out the best in others to accept the challenge. Dr. Savage's even changed the life of his father.

Tiffanie Russell Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage is a great motivation to other administrators. He spoke to my leadership class recently to promote positive interactions within the school. He is a very positive and motivating person. He is an excellent administrative mentor.

Whitney Drewrey Posted over a year ago

I have had the privilege of serving on the Mississippi Department of Education Accountability Taskforce ,Testing Taskforce, and Grow Your Own Teacher committee with Dr. Savage. We met last year when he was named Administrator of the Year for Mississippi and I was named Teacher of the Year. I have visited his school on my tour and can honestly say that he IS a Life Changer for those that he comes into contact with. He is real, down to earth, and understands what it takes to make a difference in a child's life.

Kelly Riley Posted over a year ago

Congratulations on your nomination as a LCOY, Howard. I have enjoyed serving on several task forces with you, including MDE's Grow Your Own Task Force and the Educator Effectiveness Advisory Council. Your students are your priority. You are not only willing, but you are excited to think out of the box and try new things if you think it will support your students and your staff. Keep up the great work!

Jessica A. Broome Posted over a year ago

Dr. Brenda B Thomas Posted over a year ago

Howard Savage embraces the qualities of true leadership. It is not surprising to the Education Leadership faculty at William Carey University that Mr. Savage (soon-to-be Dr. Savage) has exceeded our expectations through the implementation of rigor, relevance, and respective relationships (Kegan & Wagner 2006) in his most recent programs at Quitman High School. It is with pleasure that I support his bid for Life Changer.

Dr. Robert Sanders Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage is truly a Life Changer with the work he does as a Principal and as an ambassador in public education. Dr. Savage serves on the State's Student Testing Taskforce where we discuss the impact State testing has on students, parents, teachers administrators and the profession. Dr. Savage offers valuable insights as a member of this Taskforce. Dr. Savage is not only changing lives for students at Quitman High but he also has a Statewide impact as a member of this Taskforce. I offer my highest recommendation for Dr. Savage's candidacy as the Life Changer of the Year.

Lyle Wallace Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage inspires stakeholders of Panther Nation but a lot of people don't know the inspiration he provides outside of that group. He selflessly gives up his free time to help teachers become better teachers and prepare future administrators. For instance, he gave up a Saturday to help our cohort with an SLLA training with nothing expected in return. His best quality is his caring for the students and the people who will lead the schools in the future. He is a visionary that inspires others to make society better. He deserves any awards/credit/recognition that comes his way because of the positive changes he is making in the field of education.

Tommy Branch Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage has my full support for the nomination. He has the drive and energy this profession will need moving forward. His heart matches his energy and it is reflected in his work. He is a difference maker and worthy of this nomination.

Penny Wallin Posted over a year ago

Howard Savage is an amazing visionary educational leader who nurtures synergy to improve the lives of students and teachers. By empowering each person (he meets and works with every student and teacher), he has built a winning team. This philosophy extends beyond his school. I have witnessed his contagious energy, knowledge, and compassion with emerging leaders who are becoming principals. What a legacy Howard Savage is weaving...and MS students and teachers are the beneficiaries!

LeDonnis Norwood Posted over a year ago

It is a privilege to support Dr. Howard Savage and his nomination for the LifeChanger Award. Dr. Howard and I served on a committee together through MDE. One of the first things that I noticed about Dr. Savage is that he is very attentive and observant. He thinks before he speaks. When he did speak, everything he said was meaningful. Recently, I had the opportunity to hear a message from Dr. Savage while attending my monthly/bi-monthly PREPS Leadership Academy through William Carey University. He was on point and very knowledgeable. It is evident that Dr. Savage loves education and children. In the words of Dr. Chuck Benigo, "May the Holy Spirit continue to guide Dr. Savage's work". Job well done and congrats on your nomination Dr. Savage!

Patti Permenter Posted over a year ago

I am very proud to nominate Dr. Howard Savage for LCOY! His passion for education is contagious! He spreads joy, hope, and motivation to all those he meets whether they are 5 years old or 50! He definitely lights up the room when he enters and creates a culture where all feel valued. Please consider Dr. Savage for this award. He is truly a life-long learner and inspiration to many.

Mr. Savage, is a great Principal! When I was in the 8th Grade, I heard lots of good things about him, from some of the High School kids I already knew. Since I am in the 9th Grade now, I really see his potential. He wants the best for students, and he wants every student to bring out their academic potential. He motivates us, to be the best that we can be in class. Mr. Savage, is the greatest Principal, that I ever had!!!!!!!

Gay McKenzie Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage has taken a portion of his professional time to be my administrative mentor. He supports the positive practices of students and teachers. He has created an environment where his students and teachers grow academically and professionally. He keeps himself abreast of research that will positively affect student achievement and growth. It’s a wonderful time to be a student and teacher at Quitman High. You are doing a great job Dr. Savage, and I am learning from the best.

Charise Blanchard Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage can definitely be considered a Life Changer. He came to Quitman High School shared a vision and set goals for not only students but the staff to "Achieve Excellence"! He is a caring and encouraging individual who wants others to succeed just as he has. He does not mind sharing nor imparting wisdom to those he encounters. The best quality that Dr. Savage has is his ability to relate to and listen to his students. At Panther Nation there is no misunderstanding the fact that all he does, he does it for the students. There is no one more deserving of this award than Dr. Savage.

Chuck Benigno Posted over a year ago

I am honored to share my full support for Dr. Howard Savage and his nomination as a "Lifechanger" for the students and staff at Quitman High School. As a former principal and school superintendent, I know the challenge and the potential impact of being a school principal. Dr. Savage brings a passion and enthusiasm to his work that uplifts everyone he comes in contact with. This contagious energy is very evident when you visit his campus. I have had the privilege of witnessing this firsthand on several occasions as we walked the hallways together. The first thing that jumps out is that he really knows his students by name and they are comfortable coming to him for guidance. You can also see that his staff has bought in to his leadership with a can-do spirit for the children of Quitman. Dr. Savage also donates his time speaking to other educators around the state sharing his vision for public education. His professional development sessions are very powerful and leaves everyone inspired to do more for our students. Dr. Howard Savage is a true difference-maker and very worthy of this honor.

Dr. Liesa Weaver Posted over a year ago

I first met Howard Savage as a student in my class at William Carey University in 2010 when he was working on his master’s degree in Educational Leadership that led to a principal’s license. From the beginning of the first class, I knew there was something special about Howard Savage. His attitude about class, other students and life in general was outstanding. Howard was at the top of the class in performance. He worked well with other students and often offered assistance with assignments. One of the things that Howard shared with the class was about an incentive to improve discipline at the Alternative School where he worked. At this school, students were given tokens when they were caught behaving appropriately and then were allowed to buy items from a school store. Howard wanted to put items in the store that students would work hard to purchase. He would take his Saturday’s and go to thrift stores purchasing Polo shirts to place in the store. These Polo shirts were a hot item it the store. Howard was making a difference with these alternative school students, where many teachers would have accepted the behavior as the norm. He went the extra mile to make a difference. This is how Howard Savage works. Always striving to make the world a better place.

Anthony Keys Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage was a great encouragement to me this summer as I started my graduate work. He personally encouraged me to pursue leadership when I was really doubting my abilities. He took time out to speak to me individually and I cannot thank him enough for helping me. He really is a life changer.

Tammy Alford Posted over a year ago

Dr. Howard Savage is the absolute and true definition of a "Life Changer". How do I know this? I know this because I have witnessed it, benefited from it, and been amazed by it. I have spent my entire twenty-eight year teaching career here in the Quitman School District. I love this school district, and the children who dwell here. When the principle position came open at QHS for the 2016-2017 school year, I prayed that QHS would be blessed with someone who also loved "our kids" and who would take QHS to a level of success it had never been before. Well, what can I say two years later? God is good, and prayers are definitely answered. Dr. Savage stepped into this school and turned it upside down in good way. He explained that he expected excellence from the teachers and the students, and he would not accept any excuses for less than that. When he explained his goals and his proposals to reach those goals, there was doubt from teachers and from students. When he said that he knew we could accomplish greatness, many said he was a dreamer. In the beginning, he believed in us more than we believed in ourselves. Now in his third year as principle, teachers know and students know that we can accomplish greatness with hard work. That is one of the main reasons why I know that Dr. Savage is a true "LIFE CHANGER". He not only inspired teachers to believe, but he inspired students to believe. If you ask students here at QHS, they will tell you things like, Dr. Savage cares about me, Dr. Savage is proud of me, and Dr. Savage knows that I can do it. They say these things, because they are true. He is personally involved. The kids know it and respect it, and they love him for it. If you ask faculty here, they will tell you too. Dr. Savage always greets us with a smile and encouraging words, and his door is always open if we have a problem. Dr. Savage gave QHS a new name. "PANTHER NATION" I am so proud and blessed to be a part of "Panther Nation", and I know for sure we have a "Life Changer" that dwells within these walls. I hope you know it too! Please choose Dr. Howard Savage as the Life Changer of the Year.

Dr.savage is an absolute great person. He cares about the school, and interacts with the students and teachers unlike most principles at other schools. When there is a problem going on, he is the first one on the problem and takes care of it. Our school is so much better organized and better than it has with the previous principles at Quitman High School.

Charlotta Green-Roach Posted over a year ago

I am proud to put my support behind Dr. Savage for this award. I am a parent of three 2018 graduates from Quitman High School. When my children initially enrolled at QHS, I had reservations about the entire district. So I became a substitute to keep an eye on my children, I quickly realized that Dr. Savage was so motivational to these children and staff, I stayed to continue substituting after my children graduated. Dr. Savage recognizes that each child wants someone to know they exist, that they are important whether the grade is an A or F. They want to know that their principal is not just an authority figure, but a leader that is inspiring and understanding to the challenges of their generation. Two of my children received dual credits that have propelled them further then most freshman their first year at Mississippi State University and I am proud to say that one of my sons, through all of his hardships in high school will be graduating this December from Jones College. I thank Dr. Savage for raising the level of expectations for these children and motivating them to pursue dreams and give them opportunities they never thought possible. Dr. Savage has truly been a Life Changer for my family. #PantherNation

My great grandson Gavin goes to Quitman High School and he has had nothing but great things to say about Dr. Savage. He is clearly inspired by Dr. Savage. In my 79 years of living on this earth, I've never seen Quitman High School so impressive. I can remember when it was Zach Huggins High School (the school for white kids before desegregation) and I can't help but smile at how it is an African American man leading the school to new heights. GO PANTHERS!!!

Dr. Savage is a very good principal. He's done so many things this year to make us a great school. For one, he has a very positive attitude towards the students, the school, and the teachers. He helps us with any problems we may have and tries to make sure every student has a good, positive learning experience at Quitman High School. For two, he has really made the school rankings go up, so you know he's doing something good. We used to be a D ranked school, but he changed us and brought us all the way to a B. Matter a fact, he's working on making us an A. He's doing a very good job so far. In conclusion, I really hope he gets Life Changer of the Year. He's a great principal and really deserves it. He has really brought this school together. He has very good goals for this school and is already putting them in effect, especially our motto he made, "Prowling towards graduation". Good luck to Dr. Savage and go Panther Nation!

Sean Patrick O'Neil Posted over a year ago

This year is my first year at Quitman High School. I came from a school where I wasn't really accepted. From the first moment I met him, Dr. Savage blew me away. He is an incredible role model, exceptional example, and one of the most interactive and hands-on principals that I have ever known. He not only pushes for excellence in day-to-day functions, he wants everybody to find their way and be the best they can be. He not only promotes his students to find themselves in what they do, he practically lives for it. His energy is very contagious along with his go-getter personality. He lives to inspire and encourage, and he succeeds! It's very hard to come to Quitman High School and not find at least one person effected by him. Dr. Savage works with a passion to hear everyone's voice. I give Dr. Savage my full support, and I hope you will too.

Dr. Savage is an outstanding role model. He entered into our school when it was struggling; now, it is thriving. Under his direction, the school has become better as a whole, and the students, including myself, have improved greatly. Even now, he is leading us toward a brighter future.

Mr. Savage is a presumptuous person. He strives as a principal to make sure that ,we get the best path to success that we possibly can. Dr. Savage made things happen that previous principals couldn't. He is a man that does not take no for an answer. His spirit is very warming. He is not a person who'll will walk past you and not speak. He drives for not only his students but his teachers, parents and family. He wants to install the term "goal" in our heads. As long as we push ourselves and strive , we can be whatever we want to be.

Takia Chapman Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage is by far one of the most inspirational principals I have had throughout my whole career in school; mainly because he is quite different. I have never known any principal to have so much passion, drive, and enthusiasm to make Quitman High School (panther nation) a better place. Dr. Savage has attended almost every club on campus as well as sports. Making an effort in attending these activities display how much love Dr. Savage has for his students as well as the school district. Being a band student, I can say Dr. Savage has inspired me to further pursue my career in college just by giving support in attending band competitions; when he did not have to attend them. Little gestures like these are noticeable to me, and it really makes a person feel better knowing your own principal supports you in what you do because not everyone has that privilege. Dr. Savage I know you are going to read this and I hope this makes you smile because its been many times you've made me smile. Thank you for being the principal that is known to be irreplaceable to me. Then when I become a pharmacist i'll surely thank you.

Dr. Savage has been an inspiration to me ever since he came to the school. He has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and become more involved. I worked on a Broadcasting project for him, and he used that as an example to point out how great of a person I am and how great I can be. I would still be in the corner of every classroom or lunch room by myself if he hadn't encouraged me to step out and be different. I will forever be grateful for the change he helped me to make in myself, and I truly believe he deserves Life-Changer of the Year simply because he has CHANGED my life

Also, he wants us to keep up the good grades for the whole school year or the whole 4 years were at the High school. Dr.Savage wants to be ready for college and the real world. Also, he wants to be ready for whatever we want to do or what we want to be in the future. He wants us to grow up and be someone that's great and will try to be something when we grow up.

Dr. Savage is not only our principal but he also plays a role of being our school dad.He encourages us to go forward and do not give up.He always explains to us that he wants us to push ourselves to get the school to a A+. As a student of Dr. Savage's school I try my best hearing encouraging from our Principal.He never speak down on us he speaks the truth and make it to where we take his words and do what we have to do so that we succeed in life. If something is wrong and we need someone to talk but we do not feel comfortable talking to the counselor we can always turn to our principal. He never acts like he is tired of us and does not wants to come to school some days because we get on his nerves. Dr.Savage is the most caring principal we have ever had in Quitman School District and I know we may not act like we care or some of us do not behave well we appreciate him and love everything he has done for the Quitman HIgh School.

Dr. Savage has, from day one, set goals and expectations for everyone to make better plans for themselves. High School has actually gotten better with him here. The school rating has went up and there has been a smaller discipline rate since he has been here.

When Dr. Savage arrived to our school he started doing multiple fun activities. He has been determined to push us to become a A high school then on to a A school district. When he comes into the classes he asks questions and breaks down the curriculum or subject. He takes the time to learn our names and build a common ground with us. During his time here he has not failed to tell us the good right along with the bad. He has made it possible to get out of uniforms and to start bring book bags. I am proud to be graduating with Dr. Savage being my high school principal.

Magestyic Faith Allen Posted over a year ago

My principal Dr. Howard Savage is a very inspirational person who never gives up on the students of Quitman High School. He always has a great attitude towards our education and towards us. He always has a smile on his face, and he wants the best for us. He knows our pontental and he wants us to strive to be the absolute best we can be. He is very proactive about our future, and he is the absolute best principal that I have ever had. He inspires me to do the best I can even though it may be hard. He shows us that you can do great things no matter your background or where you grew up. Everyone has the chance to be great, and he proves that. He told us his story to inspire us that no matter where we come from or how bad your life is, that does not determine what you turn out to be you do. He never stops working which shows how much he cares about us. He cares for every child who walks through the doors of QHS, and he never misses our games, competitions, or any other school related events. That also shows how much he cares for the students of QHS because most principals do not care about the students of other that to get payed. However, Dr. Howard Savage is nothing like that though, he is very caring and a very inspirational man. He strives to give us the best education that he can, and he always does what is right. He takes care of us and is concerned not only about our education, but that we turn into productive citizens. I believe he makes school a place all QHS students and staff find this place safe, where you can learn and where anyone can be whatever they set there minds to. He supports all students as athletes, scholars, or just trying to do the best they can. He has not only showed me that even someone in a higher position can be caring and very active in the community not only as a principal, but as a man who cares about the youth. He has changed so many peoples lifes from this school for the better. #panthernation #notonlyaschoolafamily

He's always saying "panther nation on the rise" which means the whole Quitman school district as panthers are prowling to the top and we want stop achieving goodness until we get there. He's very serious about things also he can have fun and joke around from time to time but he will always make sure that everyone's on point and that no one has an issue in anything and it doesn't even have to deal with school. For a principle Dr. Savage is the best and i hope he sees this so that he can see that there is a lot of people in Quitman school district who thinks and knows he's a positive principle.

Dr. Savage is one of a kind! Before I, along with my peers, came to the high school Dr. Savage made the effort to meet us personally and make sure we felt our best before our freshman year. I am not lying when I say that every time I pass him he makes sure to say hello. Along with having such a good character, he does not play about grades. I am a sophomore this year, and Dr. Savage is the one that encouraged me to take the ACT this coming up December. I am really thankful for him and everything he does for our school. He never lets us forget how amazing we are as students and I honestly do not a football game he has not been in the stands cheering like he was down on the field. Dr. Savage is truly a life saver.

One of the most understanding people i've ever met. He always meets me in the hallway with a smiling face and a high five. Thanks to him, school pride has been restored. Before he came here, we were the laughing stock of the state. Kids didn't care. Adults didn't care. No one cared. We just accepted that we were the worst. But then some guy named Howard Savage Jr. came in and changed all of that. Panther Nation has been established. And it's all thanks to him. Everyone wants to do better just to make him proud. And he is the most deserving principal anyone could ever have.

My principal Dr.Howard Savage is an inspirational person who cares for every one of his students and teachers. there has been many problems in our school, but Mr. Savage has fixed them. Some people might think he is a bad principle but i think he is the best principle he could be that's why i think Dr. Howard Savage should be nominated to win the Life Changer of the Year award.

makya pruitt Posted over a year ago

Mr.Savage is a very wonderful principal he has came and made a change at our school. He is a very helpful and positive person and i can talk to him about anything. He also does everything he can to get us were we need to be and have better grades and test scores then other schools.So he is my favorite principal because he don't let us out the easy way but after all he help us get though it and that's all that matters to me.

Kyle Robinson Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage has accomplished what no principal has been able to accomplished in the history of Quitman High School. He has turned our high school into a B rated school. He tries his best to inspire other students or teachers even when they doubt their self. He does not make it easy for us he pushes us to be our best unlike other principles. If someone messes up he doesn't send them home he gives them a second chance even if they don't deserve it. This is why Dr. savage should win the Life Changer of the Year award.

Mr. Savage is a wonderful principal. He has done marvelous things to this school. He has helped with the baseball team being a coach and won us a game at Choctaw Central. He has helped us at Union, but we didn't win. Mr. Savage is the best principal i have ever seen in my life. We went from a D school to a B school in a year.

Adelia Gray Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage is different from any principal I ever had he lets us know that there is a time for fun and a time for work. He also believes in second chances but one thing people don't know about Dr. Savage is that he is a loving, caring man who never lets anyone get in the way of the children at his school. This is why Dr. Savage should win the Life Changer of the Year award.

I have never seen an educator as enthusiastic about their job as Dr. Savage. This man RADIATES love. Although my children haven’t made it to the high school yet, I have had the chance to see him at pep rallies and football games encouraging his students. He encourages my daughter and her fellow QLE Kittens every Friday night they take the football field to cheer and dance. I’ve watched this man turn the high school from a failing school to a succeeding one. He has made his students see the talent within them. He is truly amazing.

He has excellent leadership qualities as well as a humorous personality. He's not only a principle, but Dr. Savage can be considered a peer. He cares about his students on a personal level. I believe Dr. Savage deserves to be life changer of the year because he surely changed the life of Quitman High School.

Howard Savage Sr. Posted over a year ago

In my opinion as an educator, Dr.Howard Savage Jr. first of all, is a profound individual that actually love people. From a child, Dr. Savage displayed public relation skills, that propelled his social standings in the local community. As a student, Dr. Savage was a model student in the classroom and on campus. One of Mr. Savage's supreme attributes that I am proud of, is his honest relationship with the truth. Dr. Savage has always been a hard and prolific worker, from his youth as well as into his adulthood. I speak from an empirical position when I comment about Dr. Savage. I have seen Dr. Savage work his way up through the ranks of education, starting at the lower level and the most difficult level of education and produce some outstanding students. I recall one of his students mentioning that Mr. Savage, who was not a Dr. at that particular time say, Mr. Savage will do everything within his power to help his students, but Mr. Savage don't play, he is for real. This young man kept his nose to the grinding stone and without any envy toward anyone worked in the position that was allotted to him with compassion. With hard and prolific work, Dr. Savage was recognized by leadership and appointed to higher positions. Dr. Savage never complained about his position, regardless of that position. I have witnessed Dr. Savage as an assistant principle communicate with his students on a personal level and the respected and admired him and he respected his students with compassion, as well as concern for their future. Dr. Savage was offered a position as principle and he has excelled in that position as well, taking a D-level school and transcending it to a B-level school. Dr. Savage is not just a great educator, but he is a great father, husband, and son. If this award, in my opinion be awarded to anyone, it should be awarded to Dr. Savage, because in my opinion, there is no one more deserving that Dr. Savage. Dr. Savage has committed his entire life endeavoring to improve the lives of his students and individuals around him. I am proud to say that I know that Dr. Savage is a life changer because he changed my life for the better over forty two years ago, and I am proud to say that I know him as a friend, son, and most of all as a father. I have been inspired by Dr. Savage on many occasions and he continues to inspire me in a positive way.

His influence and impact is felt by all from his heart to other's soul.

Amanda Reeves Posted over a year ago

As one whose life has been changed by Dr. Savage, I could list many admirable qualities. I think the most notable skill he possesses and leverages to his advantage is that he sees the potential inside of every person, even when they are falling short and cannot see it within themselves, or when they have been knocked down and are close to giving up. Once he sees that potential he will do everything he can to help that person achieve their best success. To that end, he knows what to do to motivate each person, recognizing that each person requires personal attention. He has been a game-changer for so many, myself included.

Any award or recognition he receives is well deserved. Thank you for the opportunity to recognize a great leader in the Quitman School District, Quitman High School, Dr. Howard Savage.

Elizabeth Hines Posted over a year ago

This man is a wonderful principal, man, and best of all, friend. He is the only principal I have ever worked for that students go out of their way to speak to or just give a high five. When I interviewed a year ago for a job, I interviewed for an English position. As soon as he found out that I was licensed in Theatre, he started moving mountains to get something started that the students had asked for. See, I had no idea that QHS students wanted theatre. It had been over 10 years since they even offered a theatre class. Dr. Savage needed an English teacher but he also knew what the students wanted. He was able to get it approved and created a class that students had begged for. My first year was amazing because of him believing in me. At the end of the year, he approached me again with exciting, first ever, opportunities. I now not only have a theatre program, but we also started a debate team and a dance team. He listens to the wants and suggestions of the students. He has created an atmosphere that lets them know they matter. While he welcomes all suggestions, he also expects great things in return. There is not a day that passes that he misses the opportunity to give a compliment or notice the greatness in someone. He is fair, friendly, and caring to everyone he meets. After working in a district where it felt like no ones opinion matter, coming to QHS was amazing. The staff supports him and each other and that is something that really helps when dealing with teenagers. He and his family are seen at almost every event supporting all of us and if they’re not, you can bet they will be the first to congratulate on a social media post or through a text message. Dr. Savage is one of the nicest men I have ever met and much deserving of this award.

Shea Goff Posted over a year ago

Behind the numbers, the ratings, the proof of what I'm about to write, is an energy in the form of a light in his eyes, a step which is more of a skip, and greetings that seem to always include words such as "wonderful". Wonderful has been his effect on Quitman School District. He has challenged us, lifted us up, high fived, and passionately spoke of a collective dream. He has called us by name and claimed us as a nation. In only a year he turned our heads and made us look at ourselves in a different perspective. When he said, "We won't quit," we wanted to dig. The key, I think, is he started with our kids. A teacher first, he began with the ones who have always been at the center of his heart and in the process quickly won over those who had the same heart as his. He's brilliant. He knows data and implements strategy and has amassed mentors and mentees he is proud to call friends. He has served and is serving as an example to all of us at Quitman School District. We consider him a gift. Giving him Life Changer of the Year is not only perfect as a representation of how he has assisted a multitude of kids and adults to change their own lives, but it is also a way of you helping us to show him how much he is appreciated. Please and thank you.

Brenda McCormick Posted over a year ago

Dr. Savage has made a positive impact at our high school. The students have a good rapport with him and I think that's very, very important. He genuinely supports the students and his staff. He's community minded and seems to understand the concept of "it takes a village". As a school board member, I feel fortunate that he's a part of the Quitman School District!

Michelle Davis Posted over a year ago

Dr Savage has been a life changer for the students at QHS but not only for them also the people in our community. Clarke county is beginning to see that no matter your race, social status, previous academic achievements or lack of, our students are growing and seeing themselves as successful. He also changed my life as a 27 year teaching veteran by reminding me why I started teaching years ago. I wasn’t just supposed to teach to a test or a curriculum but be a life changer. Dr Savage reminds me of that every day in the way he leads. I Thank him for always being there to remind us all what we should strive to be. Panther Nation can’t be stopped!!!

I've known Howard for 14yrs. He is truly a Man of God who has a heart for the people, especially our young people. Howard truly has the Midas touch and is a trailblazer wherever he goes. His leadership skills are impeccable, and he motivates everyone he comes in contact with. Please consider Howard Savage for the Lifechanger Award, he truly is deserving of this prestigious honor.

Even before becoming principal in Quitman, Mr. Savage was changing lives. My son was a student at Hattiesburg High when he was Assistant Principal and took notice of students, knew their names and sought out opportunities for them. I was fortunate enough to teach under him and he was a smiling face encouraging us EVERY day to do our best for the students. It is a pleasure to watch what he is doing now.

It is a pleasure to work for Dr. Savage. He has brought a positive atmosphere into our school. He has high expectations and works very hard to help our students and teachers reach those goals. More important is that he is a man who truly loves and cares for the students and staff. He is a Lifechanger for our school.
