Congratulations, Mrs. Fowler! 🖤💛
Fowler Named Principal at Fancy Farm Elementary, A Familiar Face to the Flock
Fancy Farm Elementary School will have a new leader when school resumes in August. A familiar face to the Fancy Farm community, Ms. Mallery Fowler, current educator at FFES, has been named Principal and will begin her new role on July 1.
“I am honored to have been chosen to lead Fancy Farm Elementary. Fancy Farm is home for me and I want nothing more than for our school to be successful. I value our parents and community and their commitment to academic success. I love this school and the people who call it home. I am thankful for this opportunity and for the selection committee entrusting me with this important role. This is something I have prayed about and the encouragement and excitement I have been shown is so encouraging.”
Ms. Fowler is a 2002 graduate of Graves County High School. After graduation, she continued her education at Murray State University where she earned bachelors and masters degrees in reading and writing. Continuing her education, Ms. Fowler enrolled in the University of Cumberlands to complete her Rank 1. Down each educational path, Fowler was able to gain a deeper understanding on the many facets of an educator, and how to relate to her students on a level that elicits success in the classroom.
Fowler, fresh out of college, began her teaching career at Wingo Elementary School teaching 4th grade reading. With two years under her belt, an opening at Fancy Farm Elementary brought her to what she calls “home.” During these 16 years, Fowler has shared the classroom with kindergarten students, and for the last three years, 3rd grade students. No matter the age she spent her days with, there was never a doubt that education was where her heart was at peace.
“I think teaching has always been a natural thing for me. I enjoy being around kids and seeing them learn new things. I love the relationships I have formed with students and parents and being a positive person for them. Seeing them grow up and build their lives is rewarding.”
Over the years, Fowler sensed a calling to lend her knowledge and abilities in a different capacity. With a strong desire to assume a leadership role, when the door opened at FFES, Fowler felt with complete certainty that this was her path. It was not only a moment for her to transition into a leadership role, but also an opportunity to serve a community that has always served her. With the motto, “Life is what you make it, be kind, and work hard,” as her motivation, Fowler is ready to assume the role with great ambition and determination.
“My goals for Fancy Farm are to continue to set and reach high expectations, build relationships with students, teachers, parents and community and showcase the wonderful things that happen everyday at Fancy Farm. I want our school to be a balance of rigor and fun where all students learn. We have exceptional teachers and staff that go above and beyond every day and I want them to know they are seen and appreciated.”
When she is not in the classroom, Fowler devotes her time to her family. Married to her husband Levi since 2007, her two boys, Jackson, a junior at GCHS, and Miles, a freshman at GCHS, keep her at sporting events from cross country to football. And…she wouldn’t have it any other way.
“As GCHS graduates, and now our kids being GC students, our love for our Eagles runs deep. You can usually find us at an Eagle sporting event of some type.”
As the upcoming school year approaches, Fowler looks forward to new beginnings, but also serving in a place known for its tight-knit community, hospitality, traditions, and a place that she truly calls “home”.
“I want everyone to know that I am passionate about education and the students of Fancy Farm. I have set a goal to be transparent in decisions and also have students’ best interests in every decision that is made. I love this school and town and will work hard to ensure that students are put first and always in a place where they can excel. I will value the input and thoughts of all stakeholders and will make informed decisions to ensure success. I honestly don’t know if I can put into words how happy I am to get this chance.”
We would like to extend an invitation to the community to join us for a welcoming reception in honor of Ms. Fowler at Fancy Farm Elementary School on Tuesday, June 2nd at 5:00PM.
Congratulations Ms. Mallery Fowler!
