Christian Cowan
School Committee

I have been honored to serve the Jamestown community on the Jamestown School Committee since 2022. Throughout my service, I have been committed to supporting decisions that put students first and help ensure our schools continue to provide exceptional educational opportunities. Over the past several years, I have served on a number of committees and have been encouraged by the progress made on both the district’s Strategic Plan and the ongoing School Facilities Plan. I believe our school buildings are among the community’s most important assets, and I am excited to continue participating in the important conversations about their future and the long-term needs of our students.

I am a 21-year resident of Jamestown and live here with my wife, Kelly, and our two sons, Sam and Ben. Our family has been actively involved in the community, and my sons attended Melrose School, Lawn School, and North Kingstown High School. Over the years, I have volunteered with the Jamestown Soccer Association, the Jamestown Education Foundation, the Lawn School robotics program, and the Jamestown Fire Department. Professionally, I serve as Executive Director and CEO of the URI Research Foundation.
