Jennie E. Howard, was born in Massachusetts in July 1861 and died in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1931. She was raised in North Prescott, Massachusetts and attended Worcester Academy before entering Framingham Normal School (now Framingham State University) in March 1864. Miss Howard graduated Framingham Normal School in 1866. In 1883, Miss Howard and twenty-two other American teachers went to Argentina at the request of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Argentina's second constitutional president. The teachers were divided into small groups and deployed to different parts of the country to study Spanish. Many of the teachers were given only four months of language training. Howard and another Framingham Normal School graduate, Edith Howe, proceeded to Parana. After four months, they assisted in the organization of the Girls's Normal School of Corrientes, where they stayed for two years. After her time abroad, Howard became regent and vice-directress of the Girl's Normal School in Cordoba. She remained there for two years and was subsequently transferred to the Mixed Normal School of San Nicholas where she remained in there in sixteen years.
