Shawn Fowler

My name is Shawn Fowler. I am originally from California but was raised in Northeast Ohio, where I attended Kent State University and received my BA in International Relations with a minor in Political Science. Later I went on to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, where I completed a post-graduate teaching program, and most recently, Columbus State University for Photography.

Before teaching, I spent 6 years in Latin America, living in Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, The Dominican Republic, and Ecuador, where I worked on, and later directed public health and development programs with a variety of both governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations. I speak fluent Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian and am currently learning Dutch, German, Arabic, and Hawaiian. I have also studied some Romanian, Irish, Korean, and Ukrainian.

My wife's job brought us to the region in 2004. During that move, I was recruited by Lee County Schools and have taught here for 21 years now. In addition to teaching here at Smiths Station, I previously taught photography post-production editing from 2011 to 2019 at Columbus State University. I have a daughter and a son who attend school in the county as well.

In our spare time, we spend a significant amount of time on soccer pitches around the state of Georgia and at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the supporter's section for Atlanta United matches, waving a flag behind the goal on match day. In the fall, my daughter plays soccer for Atlanta Concorde Fire ECNL RL. In the winter and summer, she trains in Marietta, Peachtree City, Fairburn, Rome, and Atlanta, Georgia with the Atlanta United Regional Development School. In the spring, she is a starting midfielder for the Smiths Station Women's Varsity team. I’m a former goalkeeper and right back and serve as the Women's Varsity Assistant Coach and Women's Goalkeeper Coach here at Smiths Station High School and Smiths Station Junior High School.  

Thank you,
