About

My name is Tawanda Bowie and this is my tenth year at Duncan Chapel Elementary! Prior to my move, I resided in Charlotte, NC and taught fourth grade in Rock Hill, SC. I have been in the education profession for 17 years. I am highly qualified in the area of Elementary Education. My experiences include teaching fourth grade and working with Reading Recovery, which involved teaching struggling readers in first grade.

I am a Winthrop University graduate, completing both my undergraduate work (BA Elementary Education) and graduate studies (MA Education/Literacy) as a Winthrop University Eagle. I am currently pursuing my doctoral studies at Southern Wesleyan University.

I am married to my best friend of many years, Benny Bowie and together we have one son, Jaxon Hayes. We also have a very active boxer named Prime. In my spare time I enjoy reading, exercising, shopping, and spending time with love ones.
