I am a business partner and am very impressed with Bowers/Whitley graduates. Their students have excellent conduct and customer service skills. They are all well-trained in their respective careers and they take their education very seriously. It is a pleasure to see these students as professionals. I would hire a student from Browers/Whitley without hesitation. The principal (Dr. Colucci) is very supportive to business people as well.
This school is wonderful if your student is MOTIVATED by verbal praise. The teachers and staff are so positive and extend kindness and understanding to parents and students. However, it is NOT for every student at risk. If your child has self esteem problems from past poor school performance (due to lack of skill and/or knowledge) he/she may do well here..my son did!
My daughter was transfered to this school last year. She came from high school where her grades were on a d/f average. She would of been 16 and in the 9th grade from repeated failure. All of last year she made A's and B's sometimes a C but an unremarkable difference. She mentioned that there is no bulling or drama of any kind. You just go do your work and leave. No home work either, which of coarse she loves. I recommend this school to any child who has fallen behind or is having a hard time at their local high school. You have an elective choice to pick a career and earn a cert. or degree in that field while still working on your diploma. Not to mention they will pay for you to go to a comm. college for 2 yrs full time. We feel blessed ; )
i had the best time of my life the teachers are great they care and help you in every way to get you started and prepared for the real life.
This school helped me out more than I could ever explain. The teachers are wonderful, and always ready to lend a helping hand for anything. Classes were great, and easy to learn from. I will take with me, much more than just a high school diploma. I couldn't have asked for a better senior year.
Iv never been to a school that has so many diff things ti do an there is always some one there to help when your in need.
I attend BWCC right now and it is great! I would have dropped out in 9th if it wasnt for this school. I will graduate next month with a high school diploma.

I am a student at Bowers/whitley career center and its the best thing that ever happen to me the teachers the stuff and the students are all great. I hope to graduate december of 2008 with my high school diaploma.
I was a student there for the 2007-2008 school year and I can not say one ill word about the school. I attended 4 high schools and I felt most at home at BWCC. The staff is amazing! they provide a very safe home like enviornment. They ae a small school with alot of heart. BWCC is the best school in the county.
