Bowie High School is a public high school in Bowie, Maryland, United States and a part of Prince George's County Public Schools.

It serves Bowie, Queen Anne CDP, and portions of the Brock Hall, Fairwood, Glenn Dale, and Woodmore CDPs. It serves sections of the former Greater Upper Marlboro CDP.

History

Bowie High School was built in 1965 in Bowie, Maryland.

In 2005, PGCPS placed the 9th graders in the Belair annex in Bowie as the main school building was becoming overcrowded. 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.

Academics

In 2007 Bowie High was among the top 5 percent of U.S. high schools for AP participation. 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.
