78 Mike Bowles Honorary Endowment
The Eagle Point High School class of 1978 had a 25-year reunion. One of the classmates mentioned that she thought it would be a great idea if the class were to bond together to do something positive. The idea of creating an endowed scholarship in the name of the Class of ‘78 for a graduating senior of Eagle Point High school seemed to be the idea of most interest. The Class of 1978 learned of the D9 Foundation, and the tremendous work it has done to support education in Eagle Point. It’s terrific that our (once small) town offers a fine example of what can be accomplished when people come together and focus on doing something good. In recognition of retired Vo-Ag teacher Mike Bowles’s support of the D9 Foundation, this scholarship was named in honor of him and the Class of 1978.
