About Us:

Woodland High School was founded on the basis of "Education First." The mission of Woodland High School is to provide a safe, positive learning environment where each student is assured of his own special worth and is challenged intellectually, physically, emotionally and creatively to reach his or her innate potential to become a productive member of society. The school also wishes to instill in every student a sense of responsibility to our country and community and to prepare students to be functional and productive citizens in business, industry, technical school or college upon the completion of high school.

Woodland teaches fundamental basics along with essential life skills needed to survive in the world. Teachers not only teach lessons in a textbook but also teach students how to use the subjects they were taught in the real world. Woodland's student population is relatively low. This advantage gives students a chance to become better acquainted with the teacher. The teacher can also become better acquainted with the parents of the students. Overall, Woodland is a very community oriented school.

Construction for Woodland High School started in the summer of 1928. The first class was in the fall of 1929 with eight students consisting of four boys and four girls. The class of 1930 had only fifteen students but had a very strong football team. In 1929, Joel Yates was voted most outstanding student, and in 1930, Levis Wilson also was voted as most outstanding student

The school burned in the summer of 1952. The gym and old original classrooms were built in 1954. The next additions were around the gym and were built in 1976;  three new classrooms were added in 1981. The vocational building was remodeled in 1985. A football field and concession stand were built in 1978-79. The 1999 Basketball Teams received the honor of being the first to play in Woodland's newly constructed gym.  Elementary classrooms have been constructed. The Athletic Club has recently built a new field house for the football team. In the fall of 2001, Woodland High School had the honor of receiving accreditation by the SACS Committee.

In April, 2006, the school honored previous principal, Crawford Haynes, by dedicating the newly renovated elementary building to his memory. The building was built in 1939, the year that Principal Haynes came to Woodland.
