Bowsher High School (Toledo, Ohio)

E.L. Bowsher High School was constructed in the early 1960s at the intersection of Glanzman and Detroit in Toledo, Ohio.

Bowsher High School's original building opened in September 1962 at 3548 S. Detroit Avenue, just north of Glanzman Road.

It was named for Edward Leslie Bowsher (1890–1974), Superintendent of the Toledo Public Schools from the late 1930s[4] until his retirement in 1958.

As of June 2020, over 2,000 signatures were collected for a petition to change the mascot officially, with former students offering services to help make the process as cost-effective as possible.
