The Principal's Take

Dear Students, Parents, and Friends,

Thank you for visiting the Bethune Bowman Middle High School website!
 
This year's goals include:
  • Exemplary academic achievement

  • Highly Effective student enrichment and
  • Meaningful parental and community involvement
 
Our vision this year remains the same: "Excellence By Choice ... Not By Chance."

We are indeed THE school where "Failure Is Not An Option" and are enjoying a third year as a US News and World Report Bronze level "Best High School in America".
 
We humbly ask for all stakeholders full cooperation during this academic year as we endeavor, on a daily basis, to celebrate success: one student at a time.
