About the Principal

About Tim Stowe

Welcome to Westwood!

My name is Tim Stowe, the Principal of Westwood Elementary. I am so very proud of our wonderful school and believe we have something very special here at Westwood. We serve students and families in grades 3 through 5 as a part of Zimmerman and the surrounding communities. 

The 2024-25 school year will be my 8th year as Principal at Westwood. Before becoming a principal, I was an elementary school teacher in 2nd, 4th, and 6th grades. I’ll always miss having my own class and the thrill of inspiring learners at the classroom level, but I absolutely love being a principal! 

In addition to serving as Westwood’s Principal, I spend the majority of my time with my wife and 4 kids who range in age from 4 years old to 11. Being a father has been one of the most gratifying life experiences and has made me a better educator. I bring the same care, compassion, and energy to Westwood that I give to my own family. 

I believe wholeheartedly in our district's mission to educate, inspire and empower. We, as a Westwood staff, are deeply committed to this and believe that relationships and a strong school culture are the essential elements toward achieving our mission.
