 Digital Photography - Yearbook

Welcome to the 2025-26 School Year! 

I am excited to meet you all and ready to have great school year. This year is exciting as I will be teaching all Digital Photo (and of course yearbook). My classroom is in B-6.

Mrs Who?

McGowan - ma- (like your mom) gow- (rhymes with cow) ann. I mean technically it's mick-gow-ann but that is surprisingly difficult to say. So just get it close, I'm not picky. And I actually prefer if you just drop the formal Mrs part and just call me McGowan.

This is my 24th year of teaching (what?) and my 8h year at THS.

I'm originally from Nebraska (Go Big Red!). I attended Arizona State University (Fork 'Em Devils!) where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography and Graphic Design. After working in the "real world" for a few years, I made the move to the Pacific Northwest and I decided to get my teaching credentials. I attended St. Martin's University (Go Saints!) and received my teaching certificate. I have a Masters of Education from City University.

When I'm not at Tumwater High School, you can find me outside - hiking, backpacking, cycling, taking photographs or just sitting in the sun reading a good book. I have a Mr. McGowan at home and we have one son who graduated from Cal Poly SLO and lives & works in California. I have a cat named Jolene and you will probably hear a lot about her. I am an equal-opportunity animal lover as long as I don't have to actually take care of the animal so I would love to see photos and hear about your pets!
