Welcome Back!

As we begin a new school year, I am excited and grateful to be starting my second year as principal of Bowden Grandview. This past year has been an incredible experience—getting to know our students, families, and community, and working alongside such a dedicated staff. The strong sense of care and connection in Bowden Grandview truly makes this school a special place to learn and grow.

This year, I am also pleased to welcome our new vice-principal, Mrs. Vanessa Hardy, to our team. She brings a wealth of experience, energy, and a student-centered approach to leadership, and I am confident she will be a tremendous asset to our school community.

I look forward to continuing our work together—building on the traditions that make Bowden Grandview unique, supporting each student’s growth, and creating meaningful opportunities for learning both inside and outside the classroom. Thank you for your support, your partnership, and your commitment to making our school the very best it can be.

Here’s to another fantastic school year ahead!
