A Message from Our Principal

September 2026

Cowboy Nation,

What a great start to the new school year! Although our enrollment is down from the past few years, the students that are on our campus are learning new expectations and working hard to meet those expectations. Our staff has started out the new school year with a lot of enthusiasm and they are ready for any task that comes their way.

We had an amazing turnout at our open house – well over 100 families showed up to meet their student’s teachers. We were also able to review our attendance expectations, explain the definition of what bullying really is (the key word being an imbalance of power, not dirty looks in the hallway), attendance expectations, and chain of command (students becoming advocates for their learning and talking to teachers about their struggles or problems). We also shared another layer of our communication to our families, which is ClassDojo. Willcox High School (WHS) already uses a variety of ways to communicate, such as PowerSchool (Bright Arrow), WHS webpage, WHS Facebook page, access to Google Classroom, quarterly letters home (such as this), and now the free app that you can get on your cell phone with ClassDojo. If you have not signed up for ClassDojo yet, you can email me or reach out to one of your student’s teachers and we will get you started with an email invitation. It’s a great tool to use to be able to keep track of what’s going on in your student’s classes, as well as a direct line to communicate with their teachers.

We appreciate the support everyone provides to our staff and students and we would like to continue this great relationship. One way that this can happen is by attending our annual We Are Willcox district celebration. This year, our theme is block party, and it will be in the WHS student parking lot from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on October 22. We are focusing on our Willcox community and would like any businesses or community organizations to join our celebration. If you or your place of business or organization is interested in participating, please reach out to Clary Cunningham via email or phone at 520-384-8603 – WES campus.

Thank you again for your continued support of your student’s education at Willcox High School. We do strive to continuously expand opportunities for every student on our campus. We plan on having an amazing school year, and in order for us to be successful, we all need to work together. If you ever have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. We are Willcox!

Sincerely,

Tammy Hall
