Bowie high school has mostly great teachers, they truly care about their students! The administrators such as assistant principals, and district boards seem as if they do not care for their students needs, but rather they cater to their own needs. The school also has a tendency to create useless rules, that are ineffective and are only enforced on some students. The school lunches look like prison food, and the resources are often broken and/or hanging on by its last legs. Overall the education is average, but the upper level staff lack care for their students.
Something that makes Bowie High School outstand others schools, is the bond that the students and administrators create. We all become one strong, happy, loving, family, regardless if you're Native American, White, Hispanic, Asian, Short, Tall, Skinny, Fat, Funny, Quiet, Loud and etc. When it comes to coming together and bonding, it becomes easy. Everyone is there for each other, they all understand each other, they all help each other, and above everything they don't leave anyone behind, everyone succeeds together. Personally I wouldn't want Bowie High School to change anything, we're all one big happy family. And that's what makes Bowie High School special.
Bowie is a place that I can call home. It has supportive teachers who I have seen been very hands on and interested in their students well being. I have also seen some teachers being laid back or some counselors being rude and not wanting to help their student succeed. James Bowie High School's culture is amazing. The diversity is astonishing with so many people from different backgrounds being able to communicate with each other and collaborate. The clubs and after school events are so plentiful and there are so many opportunities to better the school, the students, and the community around us all. We've seen a gamer club open up, a Spanish club being run, an Asian Student Association pop up. There are so many class options for students to choose from which is a great choice to make. The tennis courts though are falling apart and they need some funding to get better. Other sports get so much more funding but tennis gets so little. The coaches in all sports are great all around.
