Principal - Jennifer Fowler

I am honored to serve as the principal of Hudson Middle School and to be a part of the incredible Sachse community. Hudson has a long-standing tradition of excellence, and I am excited to work alongside our students, staff, families, and community members to continue building on that success.

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas State University and a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Lamar University. This is my 26th year in education, and the majority of my career has been spent serving students and families in Garland ISD. Throughout my career, I have served as a teacher, K–12 Science Instructional Design Facilitator, Assistant Principal, and Elementary Principal.

I believe that every student can learn and achieve at high levels when provided with strong instruction, meaningful relationships, and the support they need to be successful. I am committed to fostering a culture of high expectations, collaboration, and continuous growth while ensuring that every student feels valued, challenged, and connected.

I look forward to partnering with our families, staff, and community to ensure that every Hudson Hawk thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. Together, we will continue to create opportunities that inspire lifelong learning, leadership, and success.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, taking nature walks, and spending time with my husband and our three children.

Welcome Hawks! My name is Matt McMahon, and I’m proud to be entering my fourth year at Hudson Middle School. I bring over a decade of experience in public education, including time as a sixth-grade social studies teacher at Webb Middle School and as a history teacher and team lead in Wylie ISD. I earned my teaching certification from the University of North Texas and later completed my Master’s degree in Educational Administration from Lamar University. It’s a privilege to return to Garland ISD and serve the incredible students, families, and community that make this district so special. I firmly believe that every student has the potential to succeed, and it’s our responsibility to equip them with the tools, skills, and opportunities they need to thrive. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two wonderful daughters, as well as reading and watching sports.
