At the beginning of my freshman year of high school everything was quite hectic since we were in pandemic. We were doing classes online and had to accommodate to the new way of learning. In many ways I do say that this affected my high school experience since when we came back to in person classes they changed everything. A lot of new restrictions were implemented and new rules were set. All of our fist year coming back we still had to wear masks which wasn't ver pleasant and had to keep our distance at all times. The teachers in some aspects had to change their way of teaching since a lot activity's that were done before were not forbidden. Honestly I would of just changed the way they started teaching us since because of all the new restrictions we were not learning as how we use to.

I really wouldn't change anything about the school since the way it is, it makes us as students have the best experience and above all, it increases our capabilities. For some people, it would be a school that lacks many things in the aspect of school funds or also to make it bigger, etc. But really, the school as it is makes us all have the best experience in Bowie. As it is, the only thing I would change would be the food, but in general, I wouldn't change anything about the teachers, bathrooms, and things.

Bowie High School has some of the best faculty and staff. It also has a wonderful school culture especially for Hispanic students as many students who attend Bowie daily cross the border from Juarez, Mexico for a chance at a better education.
