Welcome to the James L. Day Middle School 2022/23 school year and the 6th Grade!

My name is Barbara Dowling, and this will be my 19th year teaching in Temecula. I have been teaching at DMS since 2012. Prior to that, I taught 5th grade at Ysabel Barnett Elementary.

My husband and I live locally, and we have three children (all of whom went to Barnett Elementary, DMS, and Chaparral High) and three grandchildren. We also have two American Akitas and four chickens.

In my free time, I love playing with my grandkids, long-distance hiking and camping, riding my quad, growing fruits and vegetables in my garden, and cooking.
