Before Jackson-Feild, Bowling was a high school teacher; a
principal at the elementary, middle and high school levels; a Secondary
School Supervisor; a Director of Instruction; and a Superintendent of
School for several public school divisions.
As invaluable as Bowling's background and experience has been
to Jackson-Feild, it been especially so to its students. For students
wanting to take college-level coursework, Bowling established online
education programs with the University of Nebraska, University of
Missouri, and Brigham Young University. He also partnered with Southside
Virginia Community College to provide career and technical education.
Under Bowling's leadership, classrooms at Gwaltney School
were equipped with the technology necessary for distance learning. He
developed the "student on a string" effort in which students who have
left Jackson-Feild are able to remain enrolled in Gwaltney School so
that they are able to complete their education and earn their GED. He
outfitted the classrooms with the technology for distance learning.
Bowling will be deeply missed at Jackson-Feild. His vision,
foresight, and leadership have left an everlasting and indelible impact
on everyone, especially the students who have attended Gwaltney School.
