A random selection of newspaper articles written about Bowie, one as far back as 1882.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.Fort Bowie National Historic Site
