Her students and coworkers describe her as the cornerstone of the school, and have crowned her the queen of alternative education.
Phyllis Bowie assists a student with their schoolwork at SAVE High School in Anchorage on Monday, May 13, 2024.
Bowie’s goal is to get struggling students to graduation, and she shows her students tough love when it’s needed to get the job done. “She’s helping me graduate and I probably would not have by the end of this year without her,” Carlson said. “Do you have work to do?” Bowie rhetorically asked a boy laughing in the corner of the class. “Let’s do it.”
“She has mastered individualized learning,” Mounds-Craft said. “Even with the invention of like Google and kids just being able to get on and just looking up an answer, she motivates them to actually learn and read the text instead of finding the easy way out.” Lance retired two years ago after nearly five decades as a principal, mostly in Anchorage. Together, the Bowie’s have 99 years of experience in schools.
