History
The Original Bowie High School
The original Bowie High School opened in 1973,[1] relieving Sam Houston High School. The original Bowie, AISD's fourth high school, was located three miles from Sam Houston. Cathy Brown of The Dallas Morning News wrote "Bowie, in its first incarnation.bargain.n, areШаблон:Sic too close together to effectively serve the city's population. So community, be warned."[2] Many students in the Houston zone wanted to transfer to Bowie because it was newer, and the transfer process made it easy for them to do so.[2]
Martin High School opened in 1982,[2] and the growth patterns in southern Arlington changed, so the district choose to close the original Bowie the following year. As of that year, the original building is now Workman Junior High School.[1][3]
Current building
In 1991, Bowie reopened and moved to its current building on Highbank Drive.[1]
