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:
“It gives me the greatest pleasure to say, as I do from the bottom of my heart, that never in the history of the country, in any crisis and under any conditions, have our Jewish fellow citizens failed to live up to the highest standards of citizenship and patriotism.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“We are told that men protect us; that they are generous, even chivalric in their protection. Gentlemen, if your protectors were women, and they took all your property and your children, and paid you half as much for your work, though as well or better done than your own, would you think much of the chivalry which permitted you to sit in street-cars and picked up your pocket- handkerchief?”
—Mary B. Clay, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
