Dear Fulton High School Staff, Students, and Families, 
Welcome to the 2026–27 school year. I’m excited to continue serving as Principal of Fulton High School and will also remain in the role of Athletic Director. Mrs. Nicole Bowers is returning as our Assistant Principal, and together we look forward to continuing the collaborative work that makes Fulton High School the best it can be.
The River Bend District has become an incredible home for my family. As I begin my 36th year in education, I remain committed to making a positive difference for our staff, students, and community. At Fulton High School, we’ve built a culture that truly stands out. Our teachers and students understand what’s expected of them, both individually and collectively, and we work every day to “Be Proactive, Rather than Reactive.” The relationships we’ve built with our colleagues and students are something we deeply value, and we genuinely care about every person who walks through our doors.
My wife, Kelli, now serves as the Superintendent of River Bend Schools, and we are proud to be part of this district. We have two adult children and two wonderful grandchildren who inspire us daily. Our family is grateful for the opportunity to serve this community and support the continued growth of Fulton High School.
We’re looking forward to another great year at FHS. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our students.
Mr. Jeff Parsons, Principal & Athletic Director
Mrs. Bowers, Assistant Principal
I’m excited to be returning as Assistant Principal at Fulton High School for the 2026–27 school year. As I enter my 14th year in education and my second year in this role, I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue serving a school community that truly feels like home.
My husband, Cody, and I are raising our two children, Aleigha and Brantley, here in the community, and that connection drives my commitment to creating a positive, supportive, and engaging environment for every student and staff member at FHS. As both an educator and a parent, I care deeply about building the kind of school experience I want for my own kids—one where students feel known, supported, and challenged to grow.
I’m looking forward to another great year filled with collaboration, growth, and Steamer pride. Please reach out anytime—I’m here to support, connect, and cheer on our students and staff every step of the way.
Once a Steamer, always a Steamer.
Mrs. Nicole Bowers, Assistant Principal
