Willcox High School
Be the Best - Where Effort is Required!
Willcox High School Staff 2022-2023

Welcome to WHS!

Welcome to the website of Willcox High School, home of the Cowboys! We are located in Cochise County, Arizona, in the quaint historic town of Willcox, and we serve students in grades nine through 12. Though we are a small school, we take pride in providing an excellent education for our students that will empower them to become responsible and compassionate adults and prepare them to succeed in a highly technological world.

In addition to our outstanding academic curriculum, we also offer special education and gifted education programs to cater to specific student needs as well as a variety of clubs and athletic activities for those seeking extracurricular opportunities.

Our Mission Statement

Educate and prepare all students for a successful future.

Principal's Message

Cowboy Nation!

The first quarter of the 2024–2025 school year went by very fast! Our staff and students have been busy in and out of the classroom celebrating our annual WHS homecoming! It’s been a very competitive week for dress up days, banner creation, and hall decorating. Our students are very creative, and it’s been a joy watching them work together. Our staff has been an amazing support system for our students, and they have spent countless hours after school to provide whatever help is needed.

As we move through the semester, there are some changes that are happening district wide with our messaging system. We are moving from SwiftK12 to School Messenger through PowerSchool. If you would like to receive alerts for low grades, attendance, or messages from the school, make sure we have your contact information (email address, cell phone number, home number, etc.). You get to choose which method you want to receive the notification. For text messages, instead of our school phone number, a short code will come across instead. Please don’t block that number, otherwise you will not receive text messages (if that’s your choice of notification). The short code is 67587.

We are also gearing up for our Cognia Accreditation review for next fall. Accreditation is very important to us because when we are accredited, our students qualify to attend four-year universities, they can transfer their high school credits to other high schools if they move, and ensures that we are providing a quality education to our students.

Annually, we send out an electronic survey for families to fill out called the climate and culture survey. The link is located on our WHS Facebook page and will be sent out through School Messenger this week. If you are unable to open the survey, please contact me and I will email you the link. It’s a short survey that provides meaningful feedback for us to use to make Willcox High School a successful and safe place for your students to attend.

      In this mailing is your student’s progress report from the 1st quarter. It’s only a grade check, and the grades on the progress report do not get recorded on your student’s transcript. Only semester grades are recorded on transcripts. Those are the grades that really count. If you are interested in setting up a meeting with your student’s teacher(s), please don’t hesitate to reach out to them. If you are unable to contact them, please let me know and I can set something up.

      Lastly, I would like to thank all of you for the support that you provide to our staff and your students. When we all work together, we create a strong community that allows our students to be successful. Please continue your support for our school and the programs we provide and don’t hesitate to give us feedback. Our school grows stronger when we all work together. We are Willcox!

        Sincerely,

        Tammy Hall
