bowie unified school district #14
the schools operate classes for pre-kindergarten through grade 12, with an
elementary school, a middle school, and a high school.
the school district was
formed in 1883, when the cochise county board of supervisors autorized the school
trustees of teviston "to form a school district at teviston,
to include all children of school age within five (5) miles of teviston, cochise
county, a.t." (note: the name of the town was changed to bowie in 1911.)
in 1885, james h. tevis, the founder of teviston, later bowie, gave ground for a
school site and the southern pacific donated a portable building for the
classrooms.
since that time bowie's pride in their public schools
is evident. it has the usual alumni array of doctors, lawyers, architects,
judges, and many others from nearly all walks of the business and professional
communities. bowie graduates are in the public sector as well as the private
sector of the state, nation, and internationally. most graduating students
plan to attend post-high school programs.
