Woodstock High School's top rival, Etowah High School, is known to be one of the greatest rivalries in the state of Georgia. This is due to the fact that some Etowah students moved to WHS when it opened its doors in 1996. The students eventually adapted to the school and had a natural competition among each other (WHS and EHS). Also, the schools are relatively close to each other, about two miles apart. Their competitions between each other are often referred to as the "Battle for Towne Lake".
The football team made it to the Elite 8 in 2008 with and 8-5 record and the Sweet 16 in 2009 going 10-2, also making it to the 1st round in the playoffs in 2010, making it the 1st time Woodstock HS has made the playoffs 3 years in a row in school history.
The softball team won the 5AAAAA State Championship in 2006.
