James Bowie High School is a secondary school in Arlington, Texas.

History

The Original Bowie High School

The original Bowie High School opened in 1973,[2] relieving Sam Houston High School. The original Bowie, AISD's fourth high school, was located three blocks west and two blocks south of Sam Houston. Cathy Brown of The Dallas Morning News wrote "Bowie, in its first incarnation.bargain.n, are{{sic}} too close together to effectively serve the city's population. So community, be warned."[3] 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.[3]

Martin High School opened in 1982,[3] and the growth patterns in southern Arlington changed, so the district chose to close the original Bowie. The original building is now Workman Junior High School.[2]
