History

Education in the Fowler area dates back to 1887, when the first documented school met about a mile southeast of the center of town with Miss Grace Fenlason as teacher. A school board was established around 1889. Fowler voters approved a bond to build a permanent schoolhouse in 1901. Fowler School District 26 was organized in 1903, the same year that the high school saw its first graduate. By 1906, students were being educated at the school in Fowler and a schoolhouse in Omer. A reorganization in 1961 created Fowler School District R4j and brought in superintendent Larry Vibber, who had been the superintendent in nearby Sugar City prior to Crowley County school districts being reorganized and consolidated. A new high school was constructed in 1964.
