2024 Senior Keepsake Special Section inside today’s Bowie News
GRADUATION – Our area seniors are ready to soar as they await their 2024 graduation exercises. See all the Montague County and Bellevue seniors in today’s special section. Special thanks to the seven seniors who took part in our photo shoot to represent their class.
The Bowie News asked all the high school principals to select a senior from their class that best represents the class whether it be for overcoming adversity or any other attribute. We appreciate the seniors braving the gale winds that blew across the runway at the Bowie Municipal Airport during the shoot. We know they will fly high as they graduate from their high schools and step toward their futures.

TxDOT is hosting a virtual meeting to review projects included in the 2027-2030 Rural TIP.
The program is at 4 p.m. on May 6 and 11:59 p.m. on May 19, all online at https://bit.ly/4uhDwMG
The Rural TIP is a list of local projects to be funded during the next four years in the Wichita Falls District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
The counties included are Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cooke, Montague, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young. Transportation projects cannot receive federal funding unless they are included in the Rural TIP. This includes projects for private vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, public transport, and commercial vehicles.
A section of Roach Street has been closed for the last few weeks as a new sewer line was installed replacing old clay tile line. It is phase two of multi-phase sewer line project across the city funded through a Texas Water Development Board loan of more than $9.7 million. The project will replace nearly10 miles of aging lines. (News photo by Barbara Green)
