ADMINISTRATION
Superintendent - Mrs. Cherie Nicholson
My husband and I are excited to move back to southwest Kansas and be part of the community and school family of Fowler. I was raised in southwest Kansas and followed an educational career in the area until the early 90’s when my husband and I moved to eastern Kansas where his family was located. We have three grown children and recently became grandparents. I have family that currently resides in Meade County. I have experience in administration at the building and district levels. I have served as an Educational Consultant for the State of Kansas, spent time on various committees, and have written grants as time allowed. I enjoy working with educators and look forward to the opportunity of being the Superintendent of Schools for USD 225.

I am married to my husband Derrick, we have two kids. Colt who is 11 and Sariah who is 8. We also have a dog named Casper. In our spare time we like to go to the lake and travel to different places. We enjoy the outdoors. In my spare time I enjoy reading and playing games.

My family moved here from Phoenix, Arizona. We have extended family here in Fowler that we very much wanted to get closer to. We also wanted to get away from big city life and join a small town community.

Speech Pathologist - Mrs. Andra Cunningham
Hello! My name is Andra Cunningham. This is my 12th year as a speech-language pathologist with Southwest Kansas Area Cooperative District, and this school year I anticipate serving students in Fowler and Meade school districts.
My husband, Preston, and I both grew up in rural communities. After living and working in the Kansas City area for a few years, when we started a family of our own, we knew we wanted the same small-town upbringing for our children that Fowler has to offer. Our daughters are proud to be Fowler Goldbugs!
In my spare time, I enjoy coffee breaks and the outdoor experiences that go along with farm life. I look forward to all the new adventures this school year will bring, and I am so excited to see the faces of our students!
Special Education Teacher - Mr. Tim Johnson
I was raised in a very small Nebraska town. I have been a teacher for 36 years. I have taught third grade and K-12 special education. I was a special education teacher in Garden City for 25 years, joining the Fowler team last year. My wife and I have 3 grown children and 2 unique dogs. I enjoy economics, amateur athletics and tinkering in the shop.

I live in Dodge City with my wife Jan and our (not so little anymore) children Julia and Jacob. We are excited about our 3rd child who should be arriving in July.
I have worked in public schools for 20 years, as a substitute teacher, special education para, special education teacher, and have been a school psychologist with 613 for the past 15 years. I have mainly worked as psychologist in Dodge City schools and am excited to have the chance to work in Fowler and see how a Gemini redesign school runs.
