WELCOME HOME TO BOWIE ISD, Miss Mary Beth Morrison!!
Miss Morrison will be joining Bowie Elementary School as a Kindergarten teacher for the 2025-2026 school year.
We had a few minutes to sit down and talk with Miss Morrison and here is what we learned about our new family member.
Where did you attend college and what degrees and/or certificates do you hold? I attended college at Stephen F. Austin State University. My degree is in Education and I hold my EC-6 Content Area with STR Teaching certificate.
How long have you been in education? This will be my first year in education.
Tell us a little about your previous experience. My previous experience comes from observations and my time as a student teacher. Both of these gave me great insight into what teaching looks like and how to get your classroom functioning properly. I learned to plan efficiently, how to make adjustments that worked for everyone, and to be flexible when things change in the moment.
What would you like to share about your family? I come from a small family. I have 1 older sister, 1 older brother, and 1 younger brother. My older sister lives in California, she's in the Airforce and has 2 daughters. My older brother lives in New Jersey. My little brother lives in Nocona. My mom has been working in the education system for 16 years. She's currently working at the middle school in Nocona. My dad works for United Rentals, he's been there for over 20 years now.
Would you like to share a fun fact? I don't really have any fun facts. If I had to share one, I would say my fun fact is I've been to New York City 6 times. I love New York City.
What do you enjoy outside of work? I enjoy traveling. I go on day trips all around Texas. I also enjoy hiking. I bring my dog with me and we'll hike for hours.
Can you tell us why you CHOSE BOWIE? I chose Bowie ISD because it felt like home. When I graduated college, I wanted to teach in a school that felt like home and felt like a family. I always imagined myself teaching in a school like that. Bowie ISD fits that description perfectly, everyone there is kind and so welcoming.
Again, WELCOME HOME MISS MORRISON!! We are excited to have you join us at BOWIE ISD!!
