History
Woodson was originally a junior high school and served grades 7 through 9.
In spring 2002 nearby Carnegie Elementary School closed in order to make way for Carnegie Vanguard High School. Elementary school pupils who attended Carnegie Elementary School were moved to Woodson, and Woodson became a K-8 school.
In the northern hemisphere spring of 2011, Grimes and Rhoads elementary schools closed, transferring their attendance boundaries to Woodson's elementary.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
