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.
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.

Midwestern State University junior Rykir Evans is not only building his skills during a NASA internship—he’s creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Evans has been a remote student at MSU Texas this semester while completing the internship. During that time, he had the opportunity to meet American naval aviator and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, as well as NASA Chief Flight Director Gene Kranz.
“It definitely has been an amazing experience thus far, and meeting all of the super inspirational figures in flesh and blood was definitely surreal,” Evans said.
