A native of Wayne County, Fowler is returning to the area after moving up the educational ladder on the West Coast. He spent seven years as a teacher and another eight as a principal at Caruthers High School in Selma, California. Most recently, he worked as the high school principal of the Chawanakee Unified School District, not quite an hour drive north of Selma. The release states that Fowler always looked for ways to stay ahead of the curve, and his students "flourished" in many areas thanks to their "countless" opportunities.
