McDowell family Peter B, a great person, administrator,leader,professional,FRIEND,and an inspiration to all that knew him. As a former teacher and friend at WHS, their are so many fond memories. He would always drop you a note to tell you he appreciated what you did for WHS. Not only did he care for the staff but he took time to let the students know that he was as human as they were.

My deepest sympathy to the McDowell family. Pete was a great guy, friend, and an excellent High School principal. I was always glad to see and talk with him.

thank you for filling my hart and everyone els

"Peter B. McDowell" was my favorite school principal ever. He was always professional, positive, warm, and welcoming. He nicknamed me "smiley" and always smiled back at me. I´m certain he will leave a huge hole in your family and his circle of friends. My sincerest condolences to the entire family.

Pete was a good friend that I held in the highest regard. We spent many hours on our bikes training for road races and just enjoying the beautiful country side and back roads of the county. It seemed he was always at the top of the longest hills waiting (not so patiently) for me to catch up.

I can say he was the best administrator I ever worked with at WHS. His door was always opened to discuss student, parent or department issues. Pete was very wise in the way he approached education for all students and not just those headed to college. His leadership made me better at my job. My sympathy to his family.

He was a wonderful Principal at WHS. He will be missed. There is a new shining star in Heaven.

Jim and I are sad to hear of Pete's death and send sincere sympathy to his entire family. I have fond memories of Pete at WHS, and always appreciated his kindness and encouragement. May his family hold onto happy memories and may he rest in peace.
