霍华德·杨在MHS任教期间一直教授社会研究课程。他热爱这门学科，但真正让这段经历变得特别的，是他的学生们。
“我肯定在教学生涯中也遇到过一些难缠的孩子，”霍华德打趣道，“但我记忆中的都是积极的一面。明尼通卡学校的学生们特别出色。他们的家庭都希望孩子能获得高等学位。和这些孩子相处真是太棒了。”
他曾教授世界历史。当系主任尼克·达夫（Nick Duff）着手拓展多元文化研究课程时，霍华德获得了富布赖特奖学金用于前期准备，随后开设了关于中国和印度的选修课。
这些年来还有其他一些亮点。
“最令人愉快的阶段之一，就是他们引入‘合作式教育’理念的时候，”霍华德说，“我们进行小组活动，而不仅仅是听讲座。学生们互相帮助得出正确答案，而不是各自为战。我真的很喜欢那种非竞争性的氛围。”
在MHS实施“校中校”试点项目的那五年间，霍华德曾协助带队组织了一次前往大峡谷的房车之旅，期间他们徒步下到峡谷底部，并在那里露营了几天。霍华德对学生们已掌握的知识之丰富深感钦佩。
“我是一个城市男孩，几乎没有露营经验，”他说，“很多年轻人准备得很充分，我不再是那个大佬了。我向他们学习。”
他曾短暂担任滑雪队教练，并担任过滑雪旅行的带队老师。
“我享受每一天，”他说，“和年轻人在一起让我充满活力。直到退休前，我从未觉得自己老了。”
