My name is Mr. Morice Bowden and I am an educator for First Grade here at Matthews Elementary School in my 16^thyear. I have degrees from the University of Alabama and matriculated from the University of West Alabama with a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education, specializing in PreK – 6^th grade. I am a husband to a wonderful wife and father of two great sons.  We enjoy family time, food, traveling, cultural experiences, and religious education.

A quote from the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I remember is “it is always a good time to do what is right”.

Another inspiring quote is “The more that you read.  The more things you will know.  The more that you learn. The more places you’ll go.”  Dr. Seuss
