PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Good evening, Wildcat Families. 

First, on this Memorial Day, I want to honor all of those who gave their life fighting for the liberties that make our country so special. Over the last year during the pandemic I learned a new appreciation for simple freedoms that are often taken for granted. My hope remains that by maximizing student’s social, emotional, and academic growth over four years at Woodrow that each Wildcat will graduate with the confidence and skills to chase their passions without any barriers. Every day is preparation for the future. Thank you for partnering with us to make Woodrow the exemplary school for teaching and learning. Read more ...
