We are excited to introduce Mr. Sean Bowman as our new principal at Orchard Elementary! Mr. Bowman took over the position on July 1st, 2025. Mr. Bowman has 10 years of teaching experience in Alpine School District, one year as a Title I Coordinator, and most recently, two years as an Assistant Principal at Parkside Elementary.
“I am beyond excited to join the wonderful Orchard Elementary community! I can’t wait to learn the rich traditions and culture of being an Orchard Eagle.
“All students can reach their highest potential when they feel cared for, safe, and engaged in a fun learning environment. As a proud father of five amazing children, all currently in elementary school, I deeply appreciate the trust that families place in their local schools.
“My wife and I have been married for almost 14 years. I love spending time with my family, whether at their sporting events or playing in the backyard. I enjoy the outdoors, especially mountain biking, skiing, and sports.
“With a decade of classroom experience and three years in administration, I have witnessed firsthand the magic of learning in the classroom. My top priority is supporting teachers and students while collaborating with parents to ensure every child’s success.
"As a former DLI student who personally experienced the lifelong benefits of learning another language, I appreciate the incredible opportunities available at Orchard. Whether in the DLI program or a regular education classroom, all students will grow, learn, and thrive together in this unique and enriching environment.
“I am excited to collaborate with all stakeholders to help ALL of our Orchard Eagles soar to new heights. We will cultivate a school environment where every child feels valued and empowered. Embracing education as a team effort, I am eager to listen, learn, and work together to ensure every student thrives!”
–Mr. Bowman
