Fowler Drive Has been apart of my life for over 30 yrs. My siblings and I attended and now my children are attending. My oldest son is in the special education program and the teachers have been phenomonal. He has overcame so much and has since been transitioned into the general ed classroom. My family is blessed and grateful to be part of such a wonderful school.
