History

In 2005 the district purchased a plot of land to build a new high school.[3] In 2007 the district received public comments recommending that it build a new high school building funded by a bond, with the expected amount of the bond being $50 million.[4] In January 2008 voters were offered a vote on the bond but they rejected it, so the district at the time proposed leasing the land for farmers.[3]

On August 31, 2015 Woodland High School moved from 757 Park Street (45.9042°N -122.7483°W) to its newly constructed current location at 1500 Dike Access Road (45.9295°N -122.7644°W).

In 2020 Phillip Pearson became the principal.[5]
