Senior Next Steps Night on Jan. 31
On Jan. 31 Bowie High School will present Senior Next Steps Night for the Class of 2022 and their parents.
Salli Page, college, career and military readiness coordinator, said the job at BHS is to prepare students for the next step in life, whatever that may be. Some may be attending college or enlisting in the military. For others it may involve entering the work force right after graduation.
No matter the choice the district wants to offer resources to make that transition smoother for BHS students.
From 6-7:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 the first Senior Next Steps Night will be presented. This will be for seniors and their families to get assistance on whatever their current needs are – whether it be college applications, financial aid assistance, resume writing, job applications and more.
This also will be an opportunity to explore scholarship opportunities. Last year the Class of 2021 was awarded more than $168,000 in local scholarship money from local and area organizations.
During this evening there will be a room dedicated to local scholarships and the organizations that provide them. Copies of scholarships will be available for students to pick up and organization can meet some of the prospective applicants and their families.
Local businesses, as well as the organizations that provide scholarships have been invited. Seniors and parents can go to this link for more details: sites.google.com/bowieisd.net/classof2022/home.

Bowie Independent School District Trustees extended the contract of Superintendent Dr. Donna Hale for one year and hired a new intermediate principal during its June 16 meeting.
Hale underwent her first annual summative evaluation in closed session as the board reviewed her overall work during the year. The superintendent said it has been a eventful year and she was happy the board extended her contract.
Landon Wesley was selected as the new principal at the intermediate school, replacing Jason Childress who moved into the new director of student services position last month. Wesley has been the campus assistant principal the past three years and has also served as teacher in the district. His wife, Rachel, is a science teacher at the junior high.

Abigail Hill, Nocona High School valedictorian, is the 2026 UIL feature writing state champion. Nocona faculty have been looking through school records and UIL records to see when Nocona last had someone won state. UIL record archives only date back to 1983 and they didn’t see anyone listed as winning a gold medal in Academic UIL. According to Nocona records, she is the first UIL Academic Champion since 1973.
