A Message from Our Principal
Dear WES Cowkids and Families,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! The first day of school is on August 6, and it will be here before we know it! We are ready for each cowkid, and we can’t wait to see the smiles on their faces as they return to fun, friends, and learning.
My name is Erin Bowlby, and I am excited to continue to serve as principal for our wonderful elementary school that I have been a part of for the last 14 years. Willcox is my hometown, and I am thrilled to work with our staff and students to build ongoing learning and memories for our cowkids. Here at Willcox Unified School District, our goal is: We are Willcox: Building a world class education.
