    James Bowie Elementary School opened in the fall of 1968 with Mr. Dennis Johnson serving as principal from that time until 1992. Mrs. Jan Casner was the second principal in Bowie’s history; she served as principal from 1992-2002. Bowie’s third principal was Mrs. Nicole Farrar-Myers. Ms. Staci Low, who began her Bowie leadership in 2008, retired in June 2019. Our newest principal is Chanda Ash. The 2019-2020 school year will be Mrs. Ash’s first year as Bowie principal.<\/p>

    The original building contained twelve classrooms. The present building has forty classrooms with a kindergarten wing. The building contains an office area, materials center, a library media center with attached computer lab, music room, resource room for special education, speech and Pre-K, teachers’ lounge, cafeteria, gymnasium, and art lab.<\/p>

    In May 2001, Bowie Elementary was named a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. We are very proud of our students, staff, parents and community for working together to achieve this very high honor!<\/p>
