Principal's Welcome

On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff thank you for being a member of the Buccaneer Family. Bowling Green was established in 1969 and has since been a staple in the local community. We are a faith based school with a Christ centered focus.

Our core values of honesty, loyalty and perseverance help us to create an environment that allows for academic achievement, athletic competitiveness, and a true sense of community. Our staff is committed to the development of our children through positive teacher/student relationships. We strive to meet the educational, social, and emotional needs of all students and encourage them to be leaders in their community.

We are proud of all our students, their families, and our alumni that have made and continue to make Bowling Green School a thriving educational facility. I am very blessed to call Franklinton home. My wife Elissa (Class of 89) and I invite you to visit our campus and take a tour. Game On!!!!
