James Bowie ISD recently named their Agriculture Science center after the Meadows family for their many years of service to the department. Hubert Meadows was the first agriculture teacher at James Bowie ISD. John Riley Meadows served as an agriculture teacher and eventually superintendent at James Bowie ISD. Doug Meadows was a career agriculture teacher at James Bowie ISD. The newly retired Michael Meadows served as an agriculture teacher at James Bowie for nearly 30 years. He continues to serve the department in a part time position.
According to James Bowie ISD Superintendent Eddy May, “During the 80 plus years of ag science at James Bowie there have been 12 different teachers. Each teacher has made a significant contribution to the students and community and four of these teachers are from the Meadows family”, said May. “It is hoped that students at James Bowie will be inspired to emulate the legacy of this family and strive to follow the example they have set.”
