WINTERSVILLE, Ohio — Indian Creek High School has selected a familiar face to serve as its next assistant principal.
Matt Cowser, a 2010 graduate of Indian Creek High School, will step into the role beginning July 1. He succeeds Keith Swearingen, who is moving to Indian Creek Middle School as principal for the upcoming school year.
After graduating from Indian Creek, Cowser attended Heidelberg University before earning a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education from West Liberty University in 2015. He later completed additional educational credentials through Franciscan University.
Cowser’s connection to Indian Creek runs deep. His father, Stephen Cowser, previously served as both assistant principal and principal at the high school and currently serves as president of the Indian Creek Local Board of Education.
Returning to the school where he once walked the halls as a student, Cowser said he is looking forward to giving current students the same opportunities and support he received growing up in the district.
One of his primary goals as assistant principal will be addressing chronic absenteeism and improving student attendance.
Although his official start date is July 1, Cowser has already begun working with school administrators and staff as he prepares for the transition into his new role.
