2025 - 2026

With great pleasure and enthusiasm, I officially begin my twelfth year as the Principal of Prairie Wind Elementary. I am also entering my 23rd year of educational experience in Campbell County School District #1.  I am elated to bring my skills as an educational leader to the Prairie Wind Community.

I look forward to working with you as a partner in education to ensure that all children succeed at Prairie Wind Elementary.

I have lived in Gillette my entire life and attended elementary, junior high, and high school in CCSD #1.  My educational experiences in this county inspired me to be a part of the teaching profession.  Deciding to become an administrator came from a strong desire to make a positive impact on an entire school community.

I will work hard to build strong relationships with parents, students, staff, and community partners.  During the year, it is my ultimate goal that we will work together to provide the students with the best possible opportunities in preparing them to be world-class citizens with a solid foundation created here at Prairie Wind Elementary. 

As Principal, my door is always open, and I am here to support you in any way possible.  I anticipate a most successful year as our Prairie Wind Team supports the academic, social, and emotional growth of the children at Prairie Wind.  Please feel free to contact me anytime at 307-682-7989 or email rywilliams@ccsd.k12.wy.us.

In Partnership,

Mr. Rory Williams

Prairie Wind Elementary Principal
