Principal's Message
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to John Bowne High School! We take pride in being one of the most diverse school communities, not only in Queens, but New York City. John Bowne High School offers a wide variety of programs for our students: Agriculture (Ed-Opt Program), Center for Writing (Ed.-Opt Program), Science Research Program with Doshi Diagnostic Laboratories (Screened Program), Bowne Leadership Institute (BLI), and Bowne House. Serving communities within Queens and the other boroughs are only part of successes. With the assistance of dedicated staff members, we see each student as an individual and actively pursue optimal academic, emotional and social success. However, as amazing as our staff is, the partnerships we have with our parents and guardians forge the best results - we can't succeed without you (thank you for all that you do).
Our school can and will be the center of our community as it once was. Our school has a plethora of extra-curricular activities, including athletic teams and clubs. Over the last year, our mantra/vision for all school community members is clear and succinct, "The Relentless Pursuit of Success." The details and roadmap of how to attain success may vary for each of us; nonetheless, when we relentlessly pursue our success, we achieve internal and external pride. John Bowne High School, our multiple public and private partners are here to make your high school career a spectacular experience. To families considering our school, we encourage you to take a closer look. To our present John Bowne family, welcome back and let's make this school year our best! We wish you the best of luck in your high school selection process, and in being a part of the Bowne family.
Sincerely,
Howard Kwait, Principal
