It is part of the Willcox Unified School District.

Overnight on January 12, 2011, a fire destroyed a classroom building at Willcox High, which represented half the school.

The building on the combined middle school/high school campus housed a lab and several other classrooms.

Upon this, students in the Vail School District, first from Empire High School then from the whole district, sent a shipment of copy paper.
