The teachers at Bowie are incredible. They are so kind, supportive, and understanding, and they are really focused on our learning. The teachers at Bowie push us to be the best versions of ourselves.

Love my school and teachers. Would love to have temperature controlled hallways. It is very cold in the winter going class to class.
