MISSION STATEMENT: Building on a tradition of excellence, Bowling Green Schools lead the way in education for all.
Bowling Green Independent Schools are preparing students to be excellent citizens, employees, and future leaders, locally and globally. In BGISD, students and employees are supported and encouraged to excel and achieve at their highest potential, and exemplify the motto: “Excellence Is Worth The Effort.”
The district serves approximately 4,600 students in preschool through 12th grade in eight schools: T. C. Cherry Elementary, Dishman McGinnis Elementary, Parker-Bennett-Curry Elementary, Potter Gray Elementary, and W. R. McNeill Elementary, Bowling Green Junior High, Bowling Green High School, and the Bowling Green Learning Center. BGISD is proud to be one of the most diverse school districts in Kentucky, with a majority-minority student population that is 20% multilingual, and with more than 55 different languages spoken.
The Bowling Green Independent School District is located in the downtown area and is approximately seven square miles. Although the City of Bowling Green is larger than the school district boundaries, BGISD accepts non-resident students, families who do not reside within the district, as tuition students.
