The Bowling Green R-1 School District is proud to introduce Dr. Jeff Jennewein as our next superintendent. Dr. Jennewein will officially begin his role with the district on July 1st for the 26-27 school year, and we are excited for our community to get to know him.
Dr. Jennewein brings a strong background in education and leadership. He currently serves as the superintendent of the Cole County R-1 School District, where he has spent the past four years. Before that, he worked as an administrator in the Jefferson City School District, gaining experience in a larger system and working with a wide range of students, staff, and programs.
Throughout his career, Dr. Jennewein has focused on improving opportunities for students while supporting teachers and being responsible with district resources. In his current role, he has helped expand academic programs by introducing Advanced Placement courses and dual credit opportunities so students can earn college credit while still in high school. He has also worked to strengthen support systems for students, helping increase graduation rates and improve overall academic success.
Dr. Jennewein believes strongly in investing in teachers and staff. He has worked to increase salaries, provide professional development, and create systems that give teachers time to collaborate and grow. He also values clear and consistent communication with families and the community, making it a priority to keep stakeholders informed and involved.
In addition to academics, he has supported growth in extracurricular activities and student involvement, recognizing that schools play an important role in the overall development of young people. He has also successfully led efforts to improve school facilities and manage finances in a way that supports long-term stability without placing unnecessary burden on taxpayers.
What stood out throughout the hiring process was Dr. Jennewein’s ability to connect with people, his practical approach to problem-solving, and his clear commitment to doing what is best for students. He understands the importance of community in a district like Bowling Green and is eager to listen, learn, and build strong relationships.
Dr. Jennewein shared that he is honored for the opportunity to serve Bowling Green R-1 and looks forward to becoming an active part of the community. He and his family are excited to get involved, support students, and continue the strong tradition of excellence that already exists in the district.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Jennewein to Bowling Green. We are confident that his leadership will help move our district forward while staying true to the values that make our community special.

BGR1 Families,
At a special Board of Education meeting this evening, the Board of Education approved my resignation effective June 30, 2026. This was not an easy decision, but one I believe is best for my family as I transition out of public education.
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve this community and work alongside such dedicated staff. Over the next few months, I look forward to continuing our work together and finishing the year strong for our staff and students.
Thank you for your support of Bowling Green R-1.
- Nick Larson

With the cold temperatures overnight, there is a possibility of refreeze that could make sidewalks, and parking lots slippery in the morning. Our crews will be working early to treat surfaces, but please use caution when arriving.
We also ask for your patience with buses during pickup and drop-off, as drivers may take extra time to ensure student safety.
Thank you for your understanding.

This is Superintendent Nick Larson with BGR1 Schools. Today we conducted an intruder drill as part of our regular safety training. This was only a drill - there was no threat or emergency. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our schools safe.
If your student will need bus transportation for the 2025-2026 school year, please fill out the following information.
Please fill out 1 form for each rider with an AM and PM pick up/drop off location. If you have an alternate pick up/drop off please specify.
Please have this form completed by August 5th so routes can be made and schedules are ready to be handed out at Meet the Teacher night.
*Reminder: If you were previously in the gray area (too close for transportation) those parameters still apply and transportation cannot be provided.
