The Bowie School District No. 14 is a complex of four school buildings and supporting structures together on one block in Bowie, Arizona. The entire complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 2015.^[2]

The schools – Bowie High School (1922), Bowie Grammar School / Eva E. Hall Building (1912–14), Mary Doyle Elementary School (1961), Bruce E. Brown Gymnasium (1940) – were all deemed historic and designated as contributing buildings. Contributing structures were a Works Progress Administration-built swimming pool dating from 1936, a tennis court and an iron fence which partially surrounded the complex.^[3]

The listing included the entire block holding all of Bowie's schools and supporting structures. Besides the four contributing buildings and three contributing structures were non-contributing elements: four other buildings, four other structures, and two objects.^[3]

The listing of Bowie schools was supported by Bowie alumni and other community members; a 2013 newsletter reported that a graduate student named Kristine Smedley was working on the nomination.^[2]

Prolific Tucson-based architect Annie Rockfellow (1866–1954) and Norway-born architect Henry O. Jaastad (1872–1965), who also served as Tucson's mayor, are credited for the architecture.^[3]
