1947 Bowie High School Tennis Club. Autographed by Lupe Lazarin. Bowie High School is one of the oldest operating high schools in El Paso, Texas and is part of the El Paso Independent School District. It is located in the Chamizal neighborhood in the South Central part of the city next to the border with Mexico, not far from the Bridge of the Americas linking El Paso with Ciudad Juarez, across San Marcial Street from Chamizal National Memorial. Bowie High School was founded in 1927 to relieve overpopulation at El Paso High School. The first school building still exists on South Cotton Street at Sixth Avenue in the Segundo Barrio (Second Ward) section of South-Central El Paso; it is now Guillen Middle School. Bowie High was eventually relocated at its current location as a result of restructuring in South El Paso; it sits on what was once Mexican territory ceded to the United States as a result of the Chamizal Treaty which settled a boundary dispute between the United States and Mexico. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowie_High_School_(El_Paso,_Texas)
