Principal's Message
July 15, 2025
Dear WHS Families,
I hope this letter finds you enjoying a safe and restful summer. As we look forward to the 2025–2026 school year, I want to share some important information regarding student registration and our first day of school.
Registration for students will take place at Willcox High School on the following dates:
- Monday, July 21: Seniors
- Tuesday, July 22: Juniors
- Wednesday, July 23: Sophomores
- Thursday, July 24: Freshmen
Registration hours will be from 7:00 a.m. to noon each day (except on Thursday – Freshman Orientation will be from 11:00 a.m. to noon). During registration, students will receive class schedules, Chromebook/charger, school bus schedule, pay student fees (personal check and cash accepted), and obtain parking permits (if applicable). Please bring a proof of residence and a completed registration packet to registration to ensure a quick and smooth process. Registration packets, parking permit applications, and AIA physical form packets for athletes are available now in Mrs. Patterson’s office. If families have more than one student in different grades at the high school, they will be able to register the week of July 21 on the date that is convenient to the family. If students are not able to attend registration the week of July 21, they are welcome to come the following week.
New students are welcome to come in any afternoon during registration week and make an appointment to see our counselor, Mr. Lotts, after the registration packet is complete (high school transfer students are encouraged to bring their transcript to the meeting).
The first day of school is Wednesday, August 6, 2025. Students should report to campus by 7:30 a.m. to receive their final class schedule (changes may be made to help balance classes throughout the day). The first bell of the day will ring at 7:40 a.m., and the tardy bell will ring at 7:45 a.m.
Please ensure that your student brings necessary school supplies and is dressed according to our school dress code expectations (school supply lists for most staff members will be available at registration).
We encourage families to stay informed through our school website and Facebook page. We will post updates, important information, and share helpful resources throughout the year. If you have any questions before registration, please contact our office at (520) 384-8662 or (520) 384-8668.
We are very excited to have students back on campus, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with our families and the community of Willcox. We Are Willcox!
Sincerely,
Tammy Hall
Tammy Hall, Principal
