Uniform Cleaners:
15752 Annapolis Road Bowie, MD 20715
This is the nearest dry cleaners shop from Bowie High School, it is also the most preferred shop to get your uniforms washed, dry cleaned and even altered for any occasion or reason.
Although we do prefer this shop, you do not necessarily have to go to this specific store.
Costs and contact are on their website.
It is a 4 minute drive from the Main Building and a 10 minute drive from the Annex Building.
Do NOT say that your cost will be covered by the program, YOU are responsible for paying for your own set - NOT us.
