McKinney ISD Superintendent Rick McDaniel said FMS has become one of the higher-performing schools in the district.

“[Bowser] has a proven track record as an effective leader within our district,” McDaniel said in a news release. “As the associate principal of McKinney High School, he played a large part in the continuing success of that campus, and his hard work has earned this opportunity. We are confident in Mr. Bowser’s ability to lead and build positive relationships with the faculty, staff, students and parents of Faubion Middle School.”

Bowser has 17 years' experience as a classroom teacher, serving in Mesquite ISD, Lewisville ISD and Frisco ISD.

During his time in Frisco he served as an interim principal for Frisco Wakeland High School and as principal for the FISD summer school program during summer 2012. McKinney ISD hired Bowser later that summer to serve as associate principal of MHS.

In 2014 school officials said Bowser played an integral role in establishing a Marine Corps Junior ROTC unit at MHS, a program unique among McKinney ISD high schools.

“I am incredibly excited for the opportunity to be a part of the Faubion family,” Bowser said in a news release. “During my time at MHS, I had the opportunity to work with a wonderful staff of passionate educators who care deeply about their craft, and over the past three years we received numerous accolades regarding academic performance and carved a pathway for continued success. Now, I look forward to working with the staff, students and community of Faubion. Together we will accomplish some great things.”

Bowser holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in education from Northwestern State University in Louisiana, a Master of Science degree in educational administration from Texas A&M University-Commerce and is a doctoral candidate at the University of North Texas.
