Welcome to a career at Lakes Community High School!

We all know it is a challenge to be new and it is a challenge to be a math teacher. That being said, it takes great effort to be a new, math teacher!

I hope this site makes your adjustment to LCHS a bit smoother. I've been teaching math in District 117 for three years and was part of the original faculty at LCHS.

Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions: jbowen@lakeseagles.com

Sincerely,

Jori Bowen
