Class of 2029 Freshmen
Welcome to your Freshmen year!
Welcome to Woodson High School!
Your freshman year in high school is an exciting time – full of new experiences. High school can be intimidating for many students if you don't know what you're doing. But if you know what to expect in high school, it'll be easier to make good friends, ace your classes and be active. Familiarize yourself with the layout and rules of the school before the first day of class, be outgoing during and after class, build a solid study and homework plan, participate in class, and guard against negativity.
Regular and open communication, within the family and with the school counselor, makes this a much easier process and leads to success. Get involved, there are so many things for you to do. We want you to be an avid and enthusiastic part of our community here at Woodson High School!
