The Howell High School mascot is the Rebel, a soldier with white hair and a gray uniform. The mascot was selected due to the school's original name, "Southern Freehold Regional High School." As the schools were built, Freehold Regional High School was renamed Freehold High School and Southern Freehold Regional High School was renamed Howell High School.

 To change the mascot would be an attempt to erase history and nobody wants that.
