Renovations
In Summer 2005, Woodbridge Senior High School underwent extensive renovation throughout the building. The math pods were completely renovated, and work on the social studies pods began. Trailers to house students displaced by the renovation were parked near the school tennis courts. Classes were rotated out of their usual classrooms and into these trailers in two-month cycles. The trailers were cold and wind-battered.
Students came back to school in the Fall of 2005 to find that they had no ceilings, as the tiles had been taken out for replacement, and since this revealed electrical wires and mechanical equipment, there were concerns about a detrimental effect on the learning environment. However, wiring and machinery was carefully secured and no injuries or ill health effects were reported. The only incidents of electrocution were the students' own faults.
During the 2006 academic year, the social studies, English, and foreign language pods were renovated, along with other classrooms including JROTC, and during the summer of 2006, the art classrooms and science pods were renovated due to the inadequacy of trailers as makeshift classrooms for those areas of study.
The renovation was completed during the summer of 2007, but not finished until 2009.
