Email Jessica Sowell

Jessica Sowell is a 2007 graduate of Splendora High School and has been in education since 2011. She graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2011 and earned her master's degree in Educational Technology Leadership from Lamar State University in 2019. Sowell served as a special education teacher for 5 years, then as a general education teacher in kindergarten and 1st grade, before becoming the Instructional Specialist at Peach Creek Elementary in 2018. During her time as the Instructional Specialist at Peach Creek Elementary, Sowell served on the team that created the Instructional Framework and supported teachers in their craft. 
In 2020, Sowell became the Assistant Principal at Peach Creek Elementary. During this time, she fostered and continues to foster positive relationships with students. Sowell strives to ensure that all students are loved at Peach Creek Elementary and that they become learners both inside and outside the classroom. She supported teachers when Peach Creek Elementary piloted the Blended Learning model to ensure all teachers were successful and that every student's learning experience in the model was achieved. Sowell was very excited when the Dual Language program moved to Peach Creek Elementary to embrace all students' learning and cultures. She is passionate about students receiving learning experiences that deepen their understanding of concepts and make meaningful connections that mold them into lifelong learners.
Sowell fosters positive relationships with teachers, students, and parents. She celebrates all students in and outside the classroom for their individual strengths and talents; therefore, you have likely seen her around the community at UIL competitions, fine arts showcases, robotics competitions, the baseball field, or even the county livestock shows. Sowell met her husband, Wayne, at Splendora High School, and they have been married since 2011. They have two boys who currently attend the Coleman 6th-Grade Campus and Splendora High School. Sowell seeks to capture every child's heart and, as a mom, has embraced Capturing Kids' Hearts practices within her own household.
