History
Woodstock High School held its first classes during the academic year of 1996–97. The newly formed Wolverines consisted of 55 teachers, one principal, 2 assistant principals, 3 guidance counselors and 725 students. The school plan is designed around a central wheel — the rotunda — with hallways holding classrooms, the gym, fine arts and media center extending like spokes from the central area. During the first several months of the school year, Woodstock Middle School students shared the high school space, since construction was not yet complete on their building. The high school and middle school are connected and share a few common areas such as the auditorium and cafeteria. Students who attended Woodstock High School for the first time came from Cherokee High School, Etowah High School, and Sequoyah High School. As one, these students became the Woodstock Wolverines. The first graduating class was the class of 1999, and this is what started their trademark football phrase, "Take 'em to the Woodshed". Finally, the school was complete with the finishing touches placed on the school building and sports fields in 1999–2000. At the beginning of the 2007–2008 school year, Woodstock High School had grown to approximately 154 teachers and 2500 students.
Woodstock High School offers a wide variety of academic, vocational and technical opportunities for our students. The school's Activities Program consists of clubs and organizations that are a mix of academic, service, and social opportunities. Woodstock High School is fully accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
