Fowler High School is a high school serving grades 9–12 in Fowler, Michigan, United States. The school is part of the Fowler Public Schools district.
History Fowler's first public schools opened in 1870. In 1873, a two-story wooden school was built at Wayne and Maple streets. In 1915, it was replaced with a brick building. When this new high school opened in 1959, the brick building became an elementary school until Waldron opened in 1969.
In 1998, voters approved funding for new school construction. As part of the project, the Village of Fowler sold the land where Spicer Field once stood to Fowler High School for one dollar.
Fowler High School is known for its strong academics and student growth. Its mission is to help students reach their full potential and become responsible citizens. The school has also excelled in sports, winning state championships in basketball, cross country, football, and track and field. Leadership continues to evolve, and as of July 1, 2023, Patrick O’Rourke is the Superintendent and Principal.
