Mr. Bowen (Leadership Teacher)

Hi, I’m Mr. Bowen. I started teaching at DVHS in 2008 (15 years and counting as a Wildcat) and the 2023/2024 school year will be my 12th year teaching leadership at DVHS. I love cycling, running, traveling, barbequing (is that a verb?) and I am really passionate helping people become better versions of themselves. I love my fam a whole lot and am excited to have 2 kids at DV this year. I often say that everyone is either going through something, just went through something, or is about to go through something, and with that it mind I try to treat folks well.

Shoot me an email if you need me (dbowen@srvusd.net) or follow my filming adventures on Instagram (@mattervideo) or at www.mattervideo.com.

CLASS ADVISORS

Class advisors are teachers who work closely with their assigned grade level to provide support, supervision, and mentorship. They like snacks, being asked to do things rather than told, and always appreciate a kind note or “thank you.”

12th Grade Advisor:

Mr. Addiego

He likes to golf and play soccer. Enjoys spending time with his family and being a jungle gym for his two nephews. Likes long walks to the fridge and hates scary movies.

10th Grade Advisor:

Mr. Worley

On most days you'll find Mr. Worley hanging out with his 2 kids, reading a good book, or cooking a meal for friends and family.

Mr. Khatri

He likes to sleep and cook.

Mrs. Castro Benevides’ favorite everything is Disney! She loves spending time with her husband, Nick, in Disneyland, collecting Disney Loungefly backpacks, Disneybounding whenever she can, decorating her house with Disney merch, and listening to Disney music as much as possible.
