Bowie High School (Maryland) Last updated February 19, 2025 History Bowie High School was built in 1965 in Bowie, Maryland . [ 2]
In 2005, PGCPS placed the 9th graders in the Belair annex in Bowie as the main school building was becoming overcrowded. [ 11] The main building remained overcrowded in 2018, as even after the move, the number of temporary buildings was to go down from 16 to 12. [ 12]
Academics In 2007 Bowie High was among the top 5 percent of U.S. high schools for AP participation. [ 13] It also had a honors program for highly motivated students named the SUMMIT program, where 60 students take college level honor and AP courses to prepare them for college and career. [ 13]

[ 32] In 1986, another three were killed in a drunk driving crash on the Capital Beltway . In recent years, teenagers at Bowie HS are not drinking alcohol at nearly the same rate they were in the 70s or 80s. [ 32]
