Mr. Bowles

About Me

Hello! I'm, Mr. Bowles, your neighborhood dedicated English Language Arts teacher and Creative Writing teacher with over ten years of classroom experience. This will be my eighth year teaching at Running Brushy MS and my fourth year teaching Creative Writing.  For the last four years I have also worked as the assistant director to Ms. Strain for RMBS Theatre. 

I believe all students can succeed at a high level, and it is this belief that drives me to teach. I love to read (realistic fiction, sci-fi, horror, and nonfiction), love to write, watch movies, play music, listen to new music (currently diving into thrash) play basketball, and play video games. Conversing with students about their interests is also a big hobby of mine.
