James Fowler High School | Calgary Board of Education

I graduated from this amazing school a few years ago!!! By far the best memories and teachers students and just overall best high school ever!! Cafeteria is amazing and how big the school is makes everything more amazing!!! Send your kids here!! All the extra programs they offer are also a bonus!!! Forever thankful this was my high school!!!

It's a pretty bad school. The teachers are nice to you if you are to them, they give you the respect that you give them. Everyone does drugs in the 711 parking lot across the street, dont ask to have a sip of someone's water because it is spiked (or straight alcohol) 70% of the time. Principle is racist and discriminatory. But the only reason worth attending is the art program, and the trades programs. In the arts it prepares you for art colleges (they have a 100% acceptance rate to ACAD), and the trades prepare you for real life. The courses are hard, but that's life. They are built to be tough.

DONT LIE!this school will leave u in shambles, and you will without a doubt be scared. people get beat up in the mini-market and no one does anything about it! send ur kids here and they will SUFFER!!!!!!!!!

Delivered a sloppy toppy with the spinkle spankletwisty turny 9000 (toew included) in the upstairsbathroom to some dude who thought I was a chick, it wasn't that great maybe a 4/10 but the experience was great.

Although it has a good base some of the staff in the office are incredibly sensitive to little things while the rest of the school is great (currculum aside) I honestly think that the school could turn things around also to new or old students that did not know stay away from 7-11

This school is super underrated, it still has a bad reputation among parents but theres clearly nothing wrong about it, its quite the opposite

Look at the reviews that aren't 1-star and it becomes pretty clear what the actual experience of this school is like.Colin Nickerson, the drama instructor said one time There's a quote from The Office" of course

Great school, I 100% recommend for anyone to come here. Its also one of the least packed and overpopulated schools in calgary, and its also one of the biggest in size, so it gives the school a much better feel than for example Diefenbaker where the building is small and cramped and they are overpopulated

I graduated here 5 years ago now, though I still occasionally visit. While some faculty has changed since my time I would still recommend going here. The trades and art programs are great for students wanting to go into either field. The music, dance and theatre are all great options for those interested (especially the dance program. GO J-FLY DANCE TEAM!). The leadership program was also a great experience for me during my time there. Lunch here is good for the price. I am aware there are some issues on both the faculty and student side, but Fowler gets more hate than it deserves. My best advice is to see for yourself if you're interested in attending.
