With deep gratitude and a commitment to Priory, Ken Bower ’89 has embarked on a remarkable journey of giving back
A
s a current Priory parent, former Board of Advisors member, and Abbey Society member, the alumnus is a major supporter of Priory in so many ways.
Bower’s philanthropic endeavors speak to the enduring impact of a Priory education and the bond between an individual and the institution that played an instrumental role in shaping his future success. Bower currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Clayton Financial Group, LLC. In big ways and small, Bower continues to give back. He dedicated his time and talent to the scoreboard committee, hosted a Chilean student last year, and supports his son Joseph ’25 in his Priory experience. Bower is also helping with one of Priory’s strategic plan initiatives - to rejuvenate the Abbey Society.
Bower not only honors the cherished memories from his formative years, but also paves the way by example for future generations to forge their own paths to greatness within the very halls that once nurtured his dreams.
Giving Back “Priory does an exceptional job in the formation of young men, and I credit Priory for fostering in me a sense of civic involvement,” says Bower. He added that the overall Priory experience and formation happens in the classroom, in the corridors, and on the fields. “We all mirror the behavior of those around us, and when enough of the adults share the expression, ‘To whom much is given, much is expected,’ that message sinks in over time.”
