Roxan Bowman
 

Roxan Bowman is in the spotlight this month.  Roxan is a algebra teacher at Ballinger High School.  In addition, she is the coach for the UIL math teams, HS UIL Coordinator, HS Cheerleader Sponsor, and District Testing Coordinator.  Mrs. Bowman states “ I don’t think that anyone working in a small school and particularly a small school with high expectations has a typical day.  Everyone takes on additional tasks to ensure that our students are offered a wide range of opportunities.”  Throughout the day, she works on testing and depending on the time of year, cheerleaders and uil.  She has her Algebra classes and UIL teams and then tutorials, meetings and finishing up the day and preparing for the next.

 

Roxan is born and raised in Stratford, TX.  She graduated from Stratford High School and went on to attend and graduate from Texas Tech, with a BA in Mathematics.  She decided to teach so she could share her love of math with her students.  She feels that math is really constantly used in life, whether its reasoning and problem solving skills or actually application.  Her first teaching job was in Lamesa.  She was hired one week before graduation from Tech.  After that she went on to teach at Lubbock Cooper and a year at Olfen before coming to Ballinger Jr. High.  She taught Special Ed for a year before moving over to Ballinger High School.

 

When not working at the school, she spends most of her free time with her three daughters.  She also enjoys cooking and working on her house.  When asked what her favorite memories from her own school days, she said that spending time with her friends.  “Stratford is a small town with “nothing to do” so on Friday and Saturday night we would “Drag Main”.”
